How QR Codes Work
QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a type of matrix barcode. Unlike 1D barcodes that only store data horizontally, QR codes store data in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, allowing them to hold much more information.
Key features include Position Detection Patterns (the three squares at the corners) for fast orientation scanning, and Error Correction algorithm that enables the code to be read even if it is partially damaged or obscured.
