QR code … if you haven’t heard about it yet then you soon will. It’s been big in Japan for some time (think 2003)  and now it’s breaking out into the United Kingdom and it will have an impact on web designers.

QR code is what enables camera phones to read what could best be described by likening it to what we know as a bar code. In Japan businesses display the code on their store fronts, it appears on billboards and just about anywhere else that a someone can point their camera phone at.

When someone does point their phone at one of those pieces of QR code they’re then taken to a website where they can obtain further information about whatever it was they were looking at.
