Dedicated to our friend Sef aka *Cache_or_Check*

** The cache is located in a very high muggle area so please use stealth when retrieving it **

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan; a barcode is an optically machine-readable label that is attached to an item and that records information related to that item: The information encoded by a QR code may be made up of four standardized types ("modes") of data (numeric, alphanumeric, byte / binary, Kanji) or, through supported extensions, virtually any type of data.

The QR Code system has become popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, general marketing, and much more.

A QR code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device (such as a camera) and processed using Reed-Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted; data is then extracted from patterns present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.

Here are some sample QR code symbols:


Version 1 (21×21). Content: "Ver1"	Version 2 (25×25). Content: "Version 2"	Version 3 (29×29). Content: "Version 3 QR code"	Version 4 (33×33). Content: "Version 4 QR code, up to 50 char"

Version 10 (57×57). Content: "Version 10 QR code, up to 174 char at H level, with 57x57 modules and plenty of error correction to go around. Note that there are additional tracking boxes"		Version 40 (177×177). Content: "Version 40 QR code can contain up to 1852 chars. (…)" (a total of 1,264 characters of ordinary/ASCII text, taken from an early version of this Wikipedia article)

Damaged but still decodable QR code		Example of a QR code with artistic embellishment that will still scan correctly thanks to error correction.
