QR Code Symbol

QR Code
Find us with your smart-phone.

Wondering what that symbol is about?

The symbol is a form of barcoding that can be accessed with many barcode scanners, but also standard camera phones. They are used to identify a specific product, location, or even website URL (then browse directly to the website). The symbol you see is for WornMetal.com. Someone with a camera phone can execute a QR Code application, point the camera at this symbol and the QR Code application will decode it to reveal the URL, then switch to their phone web browser to visit the website. It is another step to make our website more accessible to everyone.

A good place to use the QR Code is on brochures, or other printed advertising, or on other websites. It may seem of little value to have the QR Code on the website itself, but it is often used as a handy way of bookmarking the website on the phone so that it can be accessed later.

QR Code Reader Software for Smartphones

In order for your phone to be able to read QR Codes, you need to have QR Code barcode reading software installed as an application on the phone. This is a list of websites that offer apps for download directly to your phone. Most also allow downloading to your PC first then transferring to your phone. Some also allow setting up the application as a device bookmark on your phone.
