Weekly Dooley: 26

Here's your weekly dose of Tech Trivia!


Question: QR codes were invented back in 1994 as a way to track what?

Leave your guesses below and check back later today for the answer!


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).


Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
