Ive heard a lot about these things thru iPhone apps, but have never seen one on any form of packaging in the UK. Why are we so far behind what constitutes “normal” in the US and especially Japan.

Cmon UK, get to it so consumers can pricecheck instore!!

BTW Gia, just found your site, looks great. :)

Cool Stuff!

Check out these free embeddable QR code flash players that enable people to download the video clip that they are watching or the song that they are listening to using a QR code!

Basically, people watch the video clips or listen to the songs, and if they loved it, download them directly to their phone by scanning a QR code or by typing the shown Checkout link on their phone’s browser. They then land on a page where they can find more info about the content they are about to download. Furthermore, the composers of these video clips or songs can charge the users for their content using Google Checkout, PayPal or Bango. See the demos below:

One limitation with printed QR codes is that the webpage the QR Code points to is static. If you change your domain name or want visitors to go to an alternative webpage after you’ve printed your QR code on your T-shirt, literature then your stuck. http://www.qrme.co.uk allows you to point your QR code to any webpage and allows you to update your QRme profile anytime to point your QRcode to a new website. Effectively giving you a dynamic QR code.

Give it a try. its free.

Manchester Art Gallery is trialling QR codes in its Remembering Slavery: Revealing History display. From 1-29 March visitors will be able to use their mobile phones to retrieve specially designed web pages. The pages invite visitors to submit comments on six works on show, and listen to and read poems and comments on some of the objects.

More information on the display is at http://www.manchestergalleries.org/whats-on/community-programmes/current-projects/

The project was initiated by Julian Tomlin, a freelance consultant who is undertaking a review of machine-readable technologies in museums for a consortium of London museums.

Come to the Gallery on Moseley Street, Manchester and try out your phone. On Saturday 1 March there will be people on hand to offer some guidance. Let us know what you think of this emerging technology.

I just heard the BBC World Service radio programme and heard about a 3G video dating agency. I went onto the bbc site to get more information and they were using a QR Code. When i clicked on it with my phone i went straight to a mobile optimised site that gave me a voucher and let me sign up straight away – AMAZING!

Try it yourself it’s brilliant… http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/digital_planet.shtml
