What are QR Codes?

 * "QR Code ** (abbreviated from ** Quick Response Code ** ) is the trademark for a type of [|matrix barcode] (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside the industry due to its fast readability and large storage capacity compared to standard [|UPC barcodes] . The code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square pattern on a white background." - Wikipedia 05/10/12
