A QR Code is a two-dimensional bar code contains information, such as URLs and contact info, created in Japan 1994. QR Code stores information in both vertical and horizontal directions so it holds a lot more info than traditional bar code. Scanning the code with scanner or camera phone equipped with the reader software can decode it, launching a browser to the specified destination.
