The use of the QR codes on grave sites is fascinating. Thanks for posting that. Could historians use that type of technology in a museum like the art museum in Chicago does? I wonder if it would be popular with the public in that setting. I'll be going to Chicago next month, so I'll try to check out that museum while I'm there.
That technology could definitely be used in a museum! I think the best would be to use QR codes to stream to interviews or videos of locations of artifacts. That way if you look at an object in a museum, in an instant you could bring up pictures of where it was found, photographs of the time period it would be from, interviews of those who remember using it, etc. I know in Boston they have a podcast tour for the Freedom Trail and I certainly think you could include QR codes at historical sites along the Trail to make the tour more interactive.
