Seeing New Ways to Communicate
QR Codes allow everyday items to become a website (print-to-mobile-to-web messaging) where everything can become a hyperlink. These smart codes are similar to the price barcodes found on the packaging of supermarket items; however, QR Codes hold much more information (including website addresses, text, phone numbers) and more. A standard barcode can hold only about 20 digits but QR Codes can hold up to 7,000 digits. And, anyone with a smartphone can scan and read QR Codes with the click of a camera.
By scanning the codes, you can access images, websites, place phone calls, play a video and send text messages. It is pretty exciting if you think of the marketing possibilities of actually living in this type of “web” world.
