Every major smartphone camera app now natively reads QR codes without a separate app, removing the main adoption barrier.',

QR codes excel for consumer-facing use cases: menus, marketing, payments, and product pages. Both formats coexist across different industries.',

+    question: 'Do QR codes work through laminate?',

+      'QR codes were invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara at Denso Wave, a Toyota subsidiary in Japan. They were originally designed to track automotive parts during manufacturing.
