There seems to be some confusion about QRpedia and QR codes. QRpedia is a
site that makes QR codes - it is not the clever bit. The key part is
qrwp.org that does the language switching. This can be used as a stand
alone service, with QR codes or with NFC or other emerging technologies. A
QRWP url can be sent by a Finn to a Korean and they will understand what is
being described even though they speak different languages and both are
blind.

Whos coming to Coventry?
