JAPAN Cell phones using QR CODES

Japanese QR codes provide marketers a glimpse of the future
Now it's time to provide some details to those of you who aren't familiar with this groundbreaking technology that's adding a new dimension to marketing in Japan.
The image you see above is an example of a QR code. Essentially, QR codes are a new type of bar code that can hold hundreds of times more information than in the past, including alphanumeric characters and Japanese text. Most Japanese cell phones now come equipped with QR code readers that quickly scan using the phone's camera lens.
Why is this important?
