QR codes

Description

A QR code is a link to any kind of multimedia content: a text, a picture, a sound or a website. By clicking – scanning a QR code, hidden content linked to a real object is read. A QR code can trigger a certain function of your mobile phone – making a call, sending a text message or saving a contact.
