Great idea. DO go forward. Small, local, specialty, and minimal budget locations are thirsty for this. Thanks for leading the way.

After commenting yesterday I was thinking about coming back to say that probably integrating the QR scanner into a wider museum ‘app’ for smartphone platforms would be a really good idea – but dammit if the Powerhouse Museum are way ahead of me (again) – really really interesting stuff (esp the overlay of QR scans on the gallery floorplan) http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/index.php/2011/08/23/early-app-and-qr-code-scanning-data-from-love-lace-exhibition/

@Nick – thanks for commenting. Agree – it’s interesting watching how people are learning to use codes like QR in more intelligent and user-centric ways. Ditto really interesting to hear about the festival and the modes of use there – cheers!

This is a really clear post on something people are getting really confused about just now – at least in terms of how to use QR Codes.

On the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year a huge number of theatre companies have put QR Codes on their flyers and posters. Its interesting in that in the hyper-competitive three weeks that is the Fringe the companies are learning to be cleverer in their use of the codes.

What is working, and what more and more companies are switching to, is special time-limited ticket offers and, more cleverly, showing a venue’s location on a googlemap (so you can see how to get there). Just using them to take users to a show micro-site or facebook page is proving to be useless, and so they are stopping that use (the smarter ones at least).
