Code links (take a picture of this)
April 23rd, 2008
After recently reading this post on CR Blog and coincidently finding a QR reader application on my iPhone it reminded me to explore the wonderful world of QR codes and their possibilities.
QR (Quick response) codes are the modern day version of barcodes but instead of using a traditional reader you’d find at Sainsbury, you use a mobile phone camera which sometimes has software built-in or you download an app to read the codes. The QR codes generally contain a ‘machine’ readable URL that automatically sends the user off to your website. This is especially useful if your domain name and specific page is long and unfriendly for typing out or writing down - one snap on your camera and you’re away.
2dcode.co.uk is a blog that helps you screw up your code as the code itself allows for 30% deterioration while still remaining readable.
Create your own QR code over at Kaywa.
