It was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at stunning high speed.

The QR code is detected as a 2-dimensional digital image by a semiconductor image sensor and is then digitally analyzed by a programmed processor. The processor locates the three distinctive squares at the corners of the image, and normalizes image size, orientation, and angle of viewing, with the aid of a smaller square near the fourth corner. The small dots are then converted to binary numbers and validity checked with an error-correcting code.

To read QR code, you need a QR code scanner app on your smartphone. Lots of QR Code scanner is already available under Android store. Google Goggles and NeoReader are free apps that work great on Android, Windows Phone and iOS devices. I'm using ixMAT Scanner with my Samsung Galaxy Note.
