Información sobre monumentos mediante códigos QR, en el municipio italiano Montepulciano. Un código QR (del inglés Quick Response code, «código de respuesta rápida») es la evolución del código de barras. Características generales[editar] Los tres cuadrados de las esquinas permiten detectar al lector la posición del código QR. La estructura general de un código QR es una matriz bidimensional de módulos de dos colores contrastados, en principio blancos y negros. Una de las utilidades estructurales de los códigos QR es que no es imprescindible que lo formen módulos blancos y negros, sino que admite una cierta personalización bastante flexible (otros colores, degradados, etc.). Aunque inicialmente se usó para registrar repuestos en el área de la fabricación de vehículos, hoy los códigos QR se usan para administración de inventarios en una gran variedad de industrias.
