What is a QQR Code?
A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by most smart devises. A smartphone is used as a QR code scanner, displaying the code and converting it instantly into an enjoyable video giving you the history details of the location you are standing in. All you need do is open your phone camera and point it at the QR code, your phone may ask permission to go to the video. That's it!!
To Test, Scan the QR code to the right with your phone to be brought to the Barry Mc Guigan short clip, which is located at the Barry Mc Guigan Park
if your android devise does not scan the QR code, you can download a FREE QR code reader android app here.
