Rio de Janeiro is adding something new into its trademark black-and-white mosaic pavements: QR codes.

Quick Response, or QR, codes are a type of barcode loaded with information that, when scanned with a phone or other device, can open a web page, social media site or video (users first need to download an app, available for iPhone , iPad and Android ).

When they scan the codes, they’ll access a website with information about the site, including maps, history and highlights in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

I suspect the next step for human QR codes will be an elaborate geek marriage proposal starting with a flash mob dance and ending with the happy couple flying over in a helicopter, scanning the code, and linking to a Web page reading, "Will you marry me?
