Rectangular QR code can store data in long, narrow spaces: Japanese engineer

Japanese engineer Masahiro Hara, who headed a two-member team that developed QR Code at Denso Wave Incorporation almost 30 years ago, Saturday said that a new “rMQR Code” has been developed which is a new rectangular type of QR Code that can store large amounts of data in long and narrow spaces, in which conventional QR Codes cannot be printed.

Addressing students at Karnavati University in Gandhinagar, Hara said, “rMQR (Rectangular Micro QR Code) is a new type of rectangular QR code. The QR Code is improved to a rectangle so that narrow margins can be used effectively. Large volumes of information can be printed in a very narrow and elongated space.”
