Answer: Automotive parts!
Masahiro Hara, and employee of the Japanese automotive company, Denso Wave, conjured up the idea of QR codes while playing the game Go. If you’ve never played Go before, it consists of a 19×19 grid with black and white stones placed throughout. One glance at a Go board will make you see the connection between QR. Hara realized a grid system could hold much more information in a single code and could also be read from multiple directions, angles, and distances—thus speeding up production times. Hara and his Denso Wave team successfully made his vision a reality and developed the QR Code (Quick Response Code).
