I'm intrigued about how you could carve a QR code into stone! Might be an
idea to print it onto a durable plaque and set it into the stone so that
when QR codes are replaced by the next new thing you can remove the plaque
and put in the new trigger, such as a target image for AR or something else
that we haven't heard of yet
Cheers,

Subject: [MCG] QR codes bad or good
Hi,
I remember when QR codes were hailed as the next big thing. Is that still
the hive-mind's opinion?
I'm aware of security issues. Are QR codes future-proof so users can access
them next year, or in 10 years...? Other issues?
A long time ago I shared a panel (and actually one of those 'Lost In
Translation' weekends) at a museums' conference in Lillehammer with one of
the inventors. However, at the recent UKMW no-one said anything about QR
codes. Indeed if QR was mentioned people would pause to spit! I am about to
consult with a project who plan to literally carve QR codes onto stone
plaques, along with inscriptions which may prove to have more longevity?
Any comments about QR codes please?
Thanks Ally
