Project Description:
QR codes enable users to be directed to websites via the camera on one’s smartphone. Printing QR codes on adhesive would enable faculty and students to plant virtual worlds (websites; video/audio clips) all over the real world. Were QR codes to be placed on benches and outside classroom doors, users could access their information while waiting for “the main event” to occur. In effect, QR codes could be used to engage people during the many “interstitial” moments in the day. In addition, they could be hidden about the campus so that one might serendipitously stumble upon them.
