"Q - acro"

[maurice]

What is the correct name for those funny new computer-read patterns now appearing increasingly in advertisements etc? Living abroad, I feel I'm losing touch with latest coinings: it's difficult to ask about what you can't name! I thought I understood s'thing like "Q acro" on a German TV report about such things as decorations even on gravestones! Can anyone help?!It's like a further extension of bar codes for identifying ceretain products: hope you understand!

Many thanks, bibblebub: then I must have heard QR Code pronounced the German way! Never found a question so difficult to ask!
