They are termed as Quick Response Code and were first designed for automotive industry in Japan. It is a trademark type code used for redirecting a user. Let me give you an example so you can have better idea about the usability of QR code. You have a driving license and it has QR code.

This is all about QR code and if I talk about barcode reader. It is a type of label that is attached to food a variety of products.
