QR Codes continue to receive an advertising push all out of proportion to their utility - something I attribute to their primary purpose, which is advertising. Despite this, some people continue to see a role for them in learning. I get the point, but I think that QR Codes will swiftly become obsolete when optical image recognition becomes more effective (eg., when the phone sees a rose, it recognizes it as a 'rose' and retrieves the appropriate information). Just as well - I am deeply suspicious of a type of code only my mobile phone can read.
