mkmcgold Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 According to my local newspaper this outfit is one of 4 in the nation offering this service. From their website "By attaching Katzman’s Memory Links barcode, also known as a QR code, to your loved one’s monument, marker, mausoleum, cremation niche, urn, memorial bench, plaque or any other type of memorial, visitors can simply scan the barcode and view information about your loved one that you upload on your personal Interactive Memorial site including a biography, family tree, photographs or videos."http://www.katzmanmonument.com/interactive-memorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fithlise Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Cool!!! It is the first time that I have heard QR Code is employed to this field. I was wondering can we use our own barcode control to create such a QR Code which contain the information we want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurabc Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 The QR Code system has become popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. There are several standards that cover the encoding of data as QR codes: October 1997 – AIM (Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility) International January 1999 – JIS X 0510 June 2000 – ISO/IEC 18004:2000 Information technology – Automatic identification and data capture techniques – Bar code symbology – QR code (now withdrawn) Defines QR code models 1 and 2 symbols. 1 September 2006 – ISO/IEC 18004:2006 Information technology – Automatic identification and data capture techniques – QR code 2005 bar code symbology specification Defines QR code 2005 symbols, an extension of QR code model 2. Does not specify how to read QR code model 1 symbols, or require this for compliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaveiljojo Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I‘ve read news like this too ealier on and it is quite cool, you know, kinda keeping pace with times thing, qr code to monuments and all. But perhaps traditional way of engraving might be more approved than a fashion and advanced style with barcode at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Reed Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I‘ve read news like this too ealier on and it is quite cool, you know, kinda keeping pace with times thing, qr code to monuments and all. But perhaps traditional way of engraving might be more approved than a fashion and advanced style with barcode at this time.It's always going to be a delicate situation where you try to new technology juxtaposed with age old monuments. Unless physically attached, it's always possible for someone to move the flags around for malicious purposes. In my mind I can picture a well kept cemetery with lines of gravestones and neatly cut grass, and next to each stone a small and tasteful flag with a QC code on. Then the reality of disused, overgrown and vandalized cemeteries come to mind and wonder who it would be possible to implement such a system.

rene86 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 QR Codes are pretty rare in Europe and the States but very well known in Asia especially China for years now. Without QR Codes China would probably struggle. I can't imagine China without QR Codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
