QR CODE
zmcnulty

<P>A QR code is a type of "two dimensional" barcode, that resembles the scatter plots used by America&#39;s UPS o&shy;n a daily basis. However, QR codes are much more advanced - according to Qrcode.com, UPS scatter plots can hold o&shy;nly 28 characters, while QR codes can hold 128. Furthermore, QR codes have built in error recovery, meaning that even if up to 30% of the code is damaged, the algorithm used to decode the information can still output the missing data.</P><P>Today, QR codes in Japan are readable by most new cellular phones. The codes themselves store data such as web addresses, contact information, and physical addresses. With au&#39;s integration of QR codes and EZ Navi Walker, users could scan a QR code using their camera phone and a destination would automatically be set so that they could follow walking directions to that location.<BR>QR code technology is rapidly emerging as an effective way to encode textual information into a machine-readable graphical representation. New uses for QR codes are being found o&shy;n a daily basis.</P>
