Hi Alessio,
That is very cool. Maybe that is the next step.
I put out a couple of signs today directing people to sites that are extensions for a couple of our exhibits. Additionally, I put up an accompanying label to explain what a QR code is and how to make use of them. We'll be watching to see if people are noticing and following through.
Here is a site with recommendations from a techie: http://www.708media.com/qrcode/a-list-qr-code-generators/
I used this site, which generates all kinds of different codes: http://tagomobile.com/create
thanks everyone for your comments.
Lynn
