Comments on: I Spy a QR Code https://blogs.reading.ac.uk/sense-of-place/i-spy-a-qr-code/ Engaging audiences with MERL’s collections - news and updates from the MERL project teams Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:25:51 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.5 By: Elle Root https://blogs.reading.ac.uk/sense-of-place/i-spy-a-qr-code/#comment-1488 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:58:11 +0000 http://blogs.reading.ac.uk/sense-of-place/?p=709#comment-1488 Lots of interesting questions raised!

It is difficult to decide whether to use QR codes or not. They’re wonderful little bits of technology but it’s important not to alientate people who don’t have smart phones.

For I Spy The Countryside we decided not to use QR codes to add extra text but to link to things that we were unable to put in the exhibition in any other way. This was particularily important for the film/television posters and costume as without footage of the film/programme they’re representing they lack real context.

Any other thoughts welcome!
