WHAT IS A QR CODE? WHO INVENTED IT AND WHY?
Beyond the Barcode: The Evolution of Quick Response Technology
THE BIRTH OF QR: FROM AUTOMOTIVE TO DIGITAL
The QR code (Quick Response Code) was invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara at Denso Wave, a Japanese company and subsidiary of Toyota. Originally designed to track automobile parts during manufacturing with higher speed, this 2D barcode system quickly spread worldwide due to its ability to store hundreds of times more data than traditional barcodes.
HOW DOES A QR CODE WORK?
QR codes consist of black modules arranged in a square matrix. The large squares at three corners serve as alignment markers, allowing scanners (or smartphone cameras) to read the code correctly from any angle. This structure allows data to be stored both horizontally and vertically, making it significantly more powerful and faster than standard barcodes.
