What are QR Codes and Visual QR Codes

http://www.visualead.com/qr-code-tutorials/

Here’s some useful information about one of the most popular ways to transfer information from the physical world to the digital world on the market today:

The first generation of QR Codes appears as a two-dimensional barcode that manifests as a square consisting of black and white dots. Like all barcodes, the QR Code is essentially a code that contains information and when scanned by an appropriate QR Code scanner that is available for all Smartphones, they redirect the scanner to a certain destination, providing their creators with a wide range of possibilities for their use. Although most QR Codes are used to redirect their scanners to a set destination such as a URL, a Google map location, a YouTube video or a Facebook profile page, they can also be used for many other functions such as transmitting vCards, calling via Skype and sharing statuses via social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

QR code - What is it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is an optically machine-readable label that is attached to an item and that records information related to that item. The information encoded by a QR code may be made up of four standardized types ("modes") of data (numeric, alphanumeric, byte / binary, Kanji) or, through supported extensions, virtually any type of data.^[1]
