David Key of Irvine Calfornia, has specialized in bar code technology since he graduated from college. Back then the latest technology was bar code 39 which is still an industry standard in many applications. Key explains that the new bar code today is QR Code which is an optical representation of data that can be read easily by the scanning device instrumentation and mobile devices, which in turn gets translated by the special software. Prior to QR Code, bar codes were available as specified parallel lines usually in black color, known vastly as one-dimensional or linear bar codes. Though, in these days, bar coding devices are able to read all kinds of patterns including hexagon, square, dots and other geometric patterns, known widely as two dimensional matrix codes. All such symbols are not bars, but still referred and pertained as bar codes. The new applications for QR Codes are endless due to their wide variety of applications in today’s mobile and Intenet markets. David Key specializes in QR Code applications in today’s commercial and retail enviroments.
