Week 4 - QR Codes

My last blog mainly talked about the use of RFID chips and how beneficial they can be to Syracuse University. Using RFID will be very useful to SU facilities and the new program I am trying to develop at the gym. However this website with the live video feeds will need to be campaigned some how so people know about it and can use it beneficially and free up time at the athletic facilities. This can be done using QR codes.

I recently picked up a newspaper and saw a QR code on the third page. Took out my iPhone scanned it and it linked me to an Syracuse University webpage. I believe that QR codes can be beneficial if they are posted throughout the gym or around campus. The codes will make students curious and help spread the work about the new website launch.

Of course the website will have to be built and established before QR codes are made for it but it is always good to plan ahead. Making the new live video feed a known factor on campus will bring more users to the site throughout the use of QR codes. This also gives the students a direct link to the website so they don't have to worry about searching on Google for it.
