What is a QR code? Short for Quick Response code 2-dimensional bar code invented by Toyotasubsidiary in 1994 for vehicle tracking duringmanufacturing Image sensor reads QR code image and gathersinformation in two dimensions (unlike traditionalbarcodes that are read data in one dimension only)
2-dimensional data storage means greater capacityvs. traditional barcodes (7000 digits vs. 20 digits) Requires smaller space and is resistant to dirt anddamage (has robust error correction of up to 30%) Rapidly readable from any direction by virtue oftheir position detection patterns
