How many times have you walked into an exhibition and wished you had a pen and paper to jot down an interesting exhibit? How many times when you go home from a gallery or museum where you racking your head to remember who was that artist? what was that piece? Where did the inspiration for the art works you just saw come from?
That is where the inspiration for my project came from. Especially when thinking about the ITP End of the Semester Show, where there are so many interesting exhibits and so many other people sharing the same sentiments making for a very cramped and stressing atmosphere. So I decided to utilize a device that all people have on them and in relatively easy reach, their mobile phone.
The idea is to put a QR Code on the title labels of all the exhibits and embed the url of the project in the matrix. So the user can simply open the application and then can take a picture with their phones of the QR Code and can upload that url to their del.iciou.us site. So when they go home at night, or the next day they simply open up their del.iciou.us account and have a list of all the interesting things they viewed the night before. That way they can get any additional information they desire at home. According to the del.iciou.us api the url and the description of the item are required, the other features of the site are optional.
