The QR Code

The QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a code patented by Denso Wave, you probably already know it, but let us write something about it.

The QR Code can be seen as the upgrade of the traditional barcodes, since it's a two-dimensional code that can encode large amounts of data in a quicker way. Although this kind of encoding is done to any scanner device, we'll see the QR Codes often associated to mobile phones due to the ease to scan it with the phone camera and elaborate the code instantly. There is a general thought in the web that says: "If you want to talk with humans, use ASCII characters, but if you want to talk to mobile phones, use the QR Codes". Since we can be reached by everyone, we will include our Munson's QR Code.

In the web we can find a lot of tools to generate QR Codes from URLs, emails, phone numbers or simple text and other tools to read those codes. We've used Kaywa to generate the following QRCode (try it!):
