QR code
The QR code, short for Quick Response code, is a matrix barcode (2-dimensional). It was developed by the automobile supplier company Dens in 1994. The purpose was the fast identification of assembly groups and components.
But today, the code become more and more popular, because almost every mobile phone is able to decode the matrices with the internal camera. It's possible to encode a link with the QR code, scan the matrix with a mobile phone and get directly to the encoded link. And it is possible to save all type of data with the QR code.
