A QR code is a kind of matrix used for storing digitally-encoded information. The symbol can be in the form of squares, circles, or other geometric shapes.  A QR code contains data that links to a secondary resource such as an image file on the Internet or a text string stored on paper.  It is widely used for transmitting data over multiple channels in its original unprocessed pristine state without new encoding.

A person can take a picture of the QR code using a camera on a smartphone or scanning with a dedicated barcode reader. The content is then automatically loaded into the application installed either on the smartphone or on their computer.
