QR codes in Aquarium

aquarium.jpg Marine World, a major aquarium in the Japanese city of Fukuoka, uses 2D bar codes (QR codes) to deliver information to their visitors, reports RFID Japan.

"Visitors can get in-depth information about various underwater creatures by scanning QR codes using their camera phones. It is a bi-lingual (Japanese and English) service delivering information in the language of your choice. If you don't have a camera-phone you can rent one from the aquarium for a dollar."
