A picture is worth a Thousand words ! Well what a better way to explain QR code than this !
We live in a ubiquitously connected world where we are connected to places, products, people and properties at one go. As the world is increasingly going mobile we have found innovative ways of transferring information to one another. And QR Codes is one among them ! QRC = Quick Response Codes are basically graphic two dimensional matrix barcodes that are generated on the fly based on the information that is embedded on it. QR Codes are basically evolved barcodes that store alpha numeric data at nearly 1/10 the space of a barcode. The concept is patented by Denso Wave
QR Codes based information sharing has become a huge hit and craze among the young generation of today. The Mobile phone doubles itself as a QR Code reader that decodes the information from the QRC . There are popular readers/scanners that can read QR Codes in different operating systems (iOS and Android) . Interestingly QR Codes can be read from any direction.

Gone are the days when you take long notes for gathering information related to a product or locational directions. Today with QR Codes the entire information set is available on a click of a button ! QR Codes today are being adopted into E Commerce, Realty and Online Retail domains.
