Decoding QR barcodes


If you're in Japan, you cant miss these things, they are called QR Barcodes, and the way they work is you take a snapshot with your cellphone, the program inside the phone process it, and through your WAP browser you are redirected to a site with information about the product.

First of all you need a decoder and an encoder, they can be found here: Use "save as" please when downloading

http://yurir.pcriot.com/Encode.bat
http://yurir.pcriot.com/QR_encode.jar
http://yurir.pcriot.com/QRCode.jar

Make sure you have JAVA installed on your computer too

I won't go into detail how to use them, just place all the 4 files into one folder and run a batch file, encode or decode.

So once you have encoded the QR barcode, you will get a link, now take this link and paste it into this website:

Its a cellphone emulator, and hopefully you will get somewhere.
