<p>QR codes are a 2 dimensional bar code. Unlike the bar codes you find on products in a shop which have a series of lines to encode data, QR codes are made up of a grid of black and white squares. They are becoming increasingly popular lately, you may have seen them on the side of cans to be used in promotions or similar.</p>
<p>There are many types of 2D bar codes, but QR codes are one of the more popular formats. You can use them to encode a wealth of different things, for example text, a hyperlink or even wireless network access. This data can then be accessed by scanning or photographing the code using a camera or phone. Linking real world physical objects to online/computer content is called hardlinking. Generating codes is as simple as inputting your data into a <a title="QR Code Generator" href="http://qrcode.kaywa.com/">form online</a>, and he resulting image can be placed anywhere you can think of: on a business card, on a poster, even on clothing. QR code readers are available on many different devices, for example the <a title="iPhone QR code readers" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10412329-2.html">iPhone</a>.</p>
