QR Codes are like barcodes, but specifically for mobile phone users.
For a mobile phone user to read a QR code they would need to download a free QR reader app to their phone. Then they run the app and point their camera to the QR code. Once their phone has read the QR code, it executes the action behind the QR code.
QR stands for quick response, which is just what it gives you. With the internet in your pocket via your smart phone, a quick scan of any QR code will deliver information in an instant.
