Flint Institute of Arts QR Codes
Posted onMay 17, 2012The Flint Institute of Arts (Michigan) and Mlive.com has used QR Codes for a wine tasting vote at a fundraiser. At the wine tasting event participants were asked to taste the wide range of wines presented. When they find their favorite one, they vote by scanning a QR Code. The QR code creates a simple text message that sends the wine vote entry. Manually voting was also available.
The Flint Institute of Arts has also used QR Codes for getting directions to its location; scan the following code to see how to get to the Flint Institute of Arts:

Medieval Week Museum of Gold Court in Metz
Posted onMay 15, 2012From May 14 to 19 2012 , the Museum of La Cour d’Or - Metz Metropole organizes a Medieval Week. This year, a Smartphone game is planned which will allow the public to discover a part of the history of Metz in the Middle Ages.
This is the Metz Métropole Medieval Game 2012, 3MG12
In this game, the action takes place in 1354. That’s when a delegation arrives from Messina to the Luxembourg Republic. A fight breaks out between the mysterious factions from Messina and Luxembourg.
Players will try to solve this puzzle by scanning, using their phones, different QR codes affixed near famous monuments or places of medieval Metz.
Thus they will discover historical information, the social and cultural impact on the city of Metz, and few clues in the form of narrative fiction to better understand the origins of the brawl.
Saturday 19 May, the fighting will be reenacted at the museum. Players then enter into direct contact with actors of the event and discover the true story .

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012 QR Code Garden
Posted onMay 14, 2012
This is the first year that smart technology has been utilized at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The QR Code Garden is a topical, ambitious and interactive space that delivers a bold visual statement. The focal point of the garden is a large QR (Quick Response) code, created from a wall of vertical planting. The design references formal garden traditions through the use of sharp geometric form and clipped topiary, but is brought into the present day through the engagement with this exciting new way of accessing virtual information.
Designed by Jade Goto in collaboration with Shelley Mosco of Green Graphite Ltd
Built by Scotscape Ltd in association with Treebox Ltd

Walk Raleigh project QR Codes
Posted onApril 19, 2012The cardboard and vinyl signs contained snippets about how many minutes it would take to walk to must-see destinations like Raleigh City Cemetery, as well as QR codes for downloading directions. Check out the BBC video and their FaceBook page..
The initial guerrilla (unsanctioned & self initiated) wayfinding project has turned into a KickStarter Project, only a few days left to help fund this project!
What? An open-sourced online resource for anyone to auto-magically create their own guerrilla wayfinding sign to export, print and install. (We hope to add community feedback/dialogue to the platform if there is strong enough support)
Why? Walk Raleigh, our initial guerrilla (unsanctioned & self initiated) wayfinding project, has resonated with so many people, both home and away (even the BBC came to town!), we had to make it accessible for more and more people. It has even been adopted as a pilot educational program in Raleigh, N.C.
