Making in Progress

QR code burnt into the surface of the puppet
(I am going to put the QR code on the 'handle' so they are all uniform size)

For some reason the wooden bull was enlarged, so I will have to
double check measurements before I send them all the be laser cut. 

My original design for the library was too detailed and intricate.
The pattern could not cut out, it just burnt through the mdf.
I will have to keep designs simple, and gaps aprox 1-2mm no smaller.

New design

I am going to create a blog to go along side this pop-up city scene, and on each puppet there will be a QR code which will link directly to information about that aspect of Birmingham.

Each QR code will be unique and link to a different page on the blog.

QR codes are read through a smart phone - Download the App (available for free on iphone, Android, Blackberry & Windows phones)

I am going to put the QR code on the 'handle' of the puppet so that the puppet can be used from either side (left or right) and to make it appear neater - etching the QR code on to the front of the puppet will look messy and un-even as each one would be a different size to fit the puppet.

The idea with this blog is that it could be interacted with by the users - they can leave comments on their experiences, share information about the city or the 'attraction'.
