QRCodes are becoming popular


QRCodes are two dimensional barcodes that can be decoded (scanned) at high speed. QrCode is created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave. These two dimentisional bar codes are very common in Japan. They are widely used in ad sector.
URLs, Text, Phone numbers can be encoded in these codes. There are J2ME applications that can decode QRCodes. If you have a java enabled cell phone with a camera, install the application from http://reader.kaywa.com/ and begin scanning QRCodes.

I am going to list what can be done with a QRCode reader and a QRCode generator later in this blog.

The image in this post is an example of generated QR Code. Guess what is encoded in the picture. Install the QRCode reader and scan the image ;)
