I know that is what some of you are thinking right now. Well here is the Wikipedia answer to that: QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional bar code).

It has since become one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes and has completely invaded the web and mobile devices.
