Title: What are these images?
Post by: thesku11s on March 18, 2007, 07:04:44 PM
Hello,

very sorry for posting this if it breaks any rules.

I would like to ask what these pixel images are which I see on all Japanese sites?

The puzzled image is a QR Code.
A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
Thanks to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
