PHONE TAGS:
Small two-dimensional
barcodes printed
on signs are a good way for
mobile phone users to quickly
access more information than can
fit on a small sign. The pages
can be readily updated or

already uses such tags in some
of its parks, e.g. Cheltenham
Park and Donald MacDonald
Reserve, Beaumaris.
