Did you ever have a specific note or description that you'd like to share, store, or spread in the easiest way possible? For example, a link to your website (because no one has time to type it down manually), a link to your favourite video, image, document, linked-in profile, instagram profile, snapchat profile, whatsapp number, WiFi Password, or whatever pops in your mind. Sharing these require a few steps, all involve them digging into your phone's/computer's archive to find it!
But what if there is a way to quickly share particular info in less than 3 seconds?
Well, there is! And it's been around for a while now. The technology is called QR codes, or Quick Response codes. A QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode consisting of a black and white pixel pattern which allows to encode up to a few hundred characters. What's more, your phone already has the feature to capture those QR codes instantly using your camera.
But how do you read QR Codes?
On iPhones, just open up your camera app and snap the QR Code. It will then prompt you with a notification to either display the info or save it (if it's a contact info for example). On Android, you can launch a QR code reader app!
The possibilities are endless, anything that has a digital footprint can be converted into a QR code. For example, we have a WiFi password QR code product in our shop that you can display for your customers at your home or coffee shop! Here is how it would look like:
Go ahead and scan this with your phone if you're using a desktop or iPad. If you're on your phone, then we have made a video to demonstrate how easy it is for you, your guests or your customers to scan this WiFi code and join your network instantly:
Simple, convenient, innovative. Anyone requesting your WiFi password will surely appreciate it.
WiFi QR codes are cool, but how else can you use them?
