We recently installed signs around the perimeter of our construction site
(our museum is mid-build). Visitors to the site can take their own tours
with narration by using the QR tags on the signs at 5 stops around the
fence. It has been pretty effective so far with Flash versions (on
auto-detect) for those mobiles that can support Flash, mp3 for those
without, and transcripts for access.
