My PRP Question
Could the use of QR Codes and Augmented Reality improve the way we share information and communicate with each other?

Some notes and points I'm hoping to look at...

Using QR Codes and Augmented Reality to develop the way we network with each other.

  • Business cards imprinted with QR Codes that will play a short bio of yourself when looked at through an Augmented Reality applicaition,
  • Using an Augmented Reality app in a conference to get information about the speakers. Face recognition software within an AR application that would display virtual information about the lecturer/speaker. The ablity for the speaker to control what he wanted to display about himself and to add Facebook, LastFM, Twitter, Personal Website or even an email address,
  • Using a QR Code in speed dating, on an item of clothing to display a short bio of the person on your mobile,
  • Love Plus, a Japanese dating simulation, displaying their virtual girlfriends through the reading of a QR Code producing an Augmented Reality model. This isn’t improving the way we communicate with others,
  • A development to this technology would be the ability to wear Augmented Reality glasses that would be able to see all this information instantly. You wouldn’t have to rely on your mobile phone,
  • Using these technologies, would it decrease the amount we communicated with each other? If you could get to know someone without talking to them,
  • Although privacy would be a concern, you would be able to limit what you displayed to your audience exactly like your Facebook page,
  • The way that brand could communicate with their audiences. it’s done at a more personal level by offering extra content to the individual,
  • It only improves the way we communicate information with each other if the information/content is valuable and optimised for viewing on a mobile device,
  • Does it promote lazyness? Would we rather use a QR Code to get to a website rather than to type in a URL because we want speed and ease.
