QR
stands for Quick Response. Let me tell you a little bit about this very popular matrix code in Japan. It can be found almost everywhere, I mean everywhere on packages, all kind of merchandise and so on. It definitely help companies to get more traffic to their websites by speeding up access. There is no need to write down full URL. When you scan or read a QR code with your iPhone, Android or other camera-enabled Smartphone, you can link to digital content on the web; activate a number of phone functions including email, IM and SMS; and connect the mobile device to a web browser.

Below are 3 photos, which have been taken with iPhone in the shop the other day.  As you can see many producers make easy for clients to access their website.  This is where QR codes plays important role. The same goes with real estate companies, who put ad outside the building with only letters For Rent and then huge QRCode.
  

Here is information taken from Wikipedia about QR Code:

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is designed to be read by smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, a URL, or other data.
Created by Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. The QR code was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. The technology has seen frequent use in Japan and South Korea; the United Kingdom is the seventh-largest national consumer of QR codes.
