As the idea for using QR codes in museums was launched here it seems appropriate to record the progress that has been made. (In my mind this is the equivalent of Crick and Watson running to the pub after they had cracked DNAs structure.)
If you remember we went away and installed QR codes in Derby museums. At the time it was pretty cool that the museum had allowed us to do it. At the time we fantacised about having one QR code that you could read in different languages. A discussion took place as a result of a blog about Derby's work.
Terence Eden and I have been working on this idea and we have got it working. The very simple web site is called QRpedia.org. The videos that shows this working

You heard it first here. Thanks to all those who contributed. If you want to see it working in a real museum then Derby will be showing this off next Saturday.
