QR Code

QR Code Research



What is a QR code?

QR is short for Quick Response, which is exactly what a QR code does. It allows you to connect to a certain web page, blog, or video in a matter of seconds on your phone using a QR scanner app. An interesting fact is the QR code came to us from Japan where they are very common.



How to Generate:

Generating your own QR code has become really easy. The world wide web has many “terrific sites” that allow you to make your own QR code, but the best website I found for making a QR code was http://60secondmarketer.com/blog/2011/01/28/qr-code-generator/
Once you reach the site you can find the generator on the bottom right hand side of this page, where you will see a box that says “Generate Your Own QR Code Now.”

Why use a QR code?

By using a QR code one may make it easy for viewers to access their website in a matter of seconds. QR codes are the next best thing because it allows the viewers to simply scan the code and be connected to the website. Where as before QR codes the viewers would have to search for the website or type the web address in.
