Denso Wave

Denso Wave is a Japanese company known for creating the QR Code (Quick Response Code) in 1994. QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store information, which can be scanned by smartphones or other devices for quick access to data, websites, or product details. Unlike traditional barcodes, QR codes can hold much more information and can be read from any angle. Denso Wave chose to make the QR code's specifications open to the public, allowing widespread adoption across various industries, from advertising to inventory management, enhancing the way we interact with information in our daily lives.
