Only works on big things like towns or buildings. Now what I'd like to
see is museum exhibits that are marked with something like [[QR Code]]
that you get your camera to scan then take you to the relevant
article. Technically possible with existing tools but a wider
implementation might be interesting (getting the museums to agree is
another problem).
