In Japan, it is common to find QR everywhere and anywhere.
But now a memorial stone maker Ishinokoe in Japan is taking that technology to be embedded onto grave stones soon. So the next time round, the visitors can simply just scan the code embedded on the grave stones with their mobiles and immediately getting information on the deceased.

The decease's family can upload content such as pictures, videos and family information on what visitors can get to view on their mobile through the QR coding. Will this really work in other countries in the near future ? Or will it be widely accepted in different parts of the continents? Only time will time.

Have you thought of how you could integrate the QR technology into your communications ?
If so, how can you better utilize it ?
You decide.

Thanks dericloh - I have learnt something new - I had no idea what QR code was......

For those like me I found this definition on Wikipedia...

Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR Codes are now used in a much broader context spanning both commercial tracking applications as well as convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users. QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards or just about any object that a user might need information about. A user having a camera phone equipped with the correct reader software can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phone's browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL. This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks. A user can also generate and print their own QR Code for others to scan and use by visiting one of several free QR Code generating sites.

Hmm... sounds interesting. I'm not sure how I would use it though, I think I'd need time to investigate what it does and what to do with it first hand!
