QR codes and the larp

[mrteapot]

Someone online asked for some detail on how QR codes were used in Amber's birthday larp. I thought that I might record that information here as well. So this is a description and evaluation of how we used some two-dimensional barcodes and a free smartphone app to simulate unusual senses and Doctor Who's sonic screwdriver

That's fantastic stuff.

Ooh - you mention that NeelK article in your GM notes. Any idea where I could find a copy?

You can find it if you go to the internet archive Wayback Machine and search for "chimera.info". Then you can find in the winter 2004 range the Daedalus magazine download page. Neel's article is in the Winter 2004 issue, called "Causality and Choice."

Or you can try this dropbox link:
