Yesterday, Wikipedia introduced a new educational app call QRpedia (@QRpedia). This is perhaps the coolest implementation of QR codes! What is QRpedia? Well, it is a language-detecting, mobile-friendly QR code! In other words, it is QR code generator that makes possible for users to easily snap a picture of QR code and be automatically directed to a mobile Wikipedia entry in whatever language their phone uses. If there's not a relevant article in their language for the topic, QRpedia directs users to the most relevant, related article that is available in that language.
QRpedia is a great example of the power of today's technology. Users are able to easily access a world of additional information available on-demand. Additionally, individuals can generate QRpedia codes at QRpedia.org!
QRpedia is a project developed that has been developed by @edent, @Victuallers, @prenvo & others.
