What is QR-codes?

QR-codes were first invented in Japan, were they are really common. QR-codes are much more useful than a standard barcode, because it can store much more data, and it have a lot more space.  QR is short for Quick Response (because they can be read quickly by a cell phone).

What are they used for?

QR-codes are basically used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone.

Where can you find it?

You might have seen QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone’s t-shirt. You can scan this QR-code (using an app, that only takes 1 minute to download, and you can get it for both apple or android. )Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business, or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet.

Tech Fair Design

Reflection: For the Tech Fair Design, I decided to make a layout showing an iPad and an iPhone.

Tech Fair 2013

Reflection:
I want to work on my first idea: To use an iPhone and an iPad to make a spy camera. I chose this idea, because it’s really easy to make this, and it seems really fun. It’s also really cool that you can spy on someone using your own iPhone and iPad. I also want to work on this idea, because I already have the materials needed, and its easy steps to work on.
