互動拜山！為墓碑加上 QR Code
qr code generator: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
智能手機年代，甚麼也講求互動，最新用途用電話拜山，但與網上祭祖不同。為墓碑加上 QR Code 的概念源自美國 Quiring Monuments，當手機掃描 QR Code 後就能瀏覽為先人特設的網頁。這個網頁就像個人的 Wiki 介紹，包括了死者的生平、相片、影片和家人好友的回憶，可讓年幼的子孫對已過身的長輩多加認識。除了美國，QR 墓碑流傳到了英國和丹麥，丹麥最大的墓碑製造商就已經著手提供有關的服務，有興趣了解的可看英國的官網。不知香港的公司又會否引入呢？
掃墓兼掃QR碼睇生平。
這也是一件好事，可讓後人更瞭解所掃墓的先人的生平，更可看到他
真有意思
Grave stone QR codes allow people to connect with the dead
Revolutionary ... the QR code on Timothy Tuttiett's grave

THIS is the UK’s first interactive headstone – fitted with a QR code to allow visitors to find out about the deceased.
The revolutionary way to remember loved ones is being launched by a funeral directors company in Dorset.
The Quick Response codes can be scanned by mobile phones to launch a biography of the deceased on a website.
The online page triggered by the small barcode-type squares can show a profile of the person, pictures and videos of them and tributes from family and friends.
One of the first customers to use the modern technology is widow Gill Tuttiett.
The 53-year-old manager had a QR code installed on the grave of late husband Timothy after he died suddenly from a heart failure last year aged 55.
Gill decided to install the code because her husband embraced new technology.
She added: “I like that we are in control of what is on the website and if we don’t like something we can take it down.
“Also, if someone is trying to create a family tree in years to come this makes it a lot easier.”

Close relatives can build, edit and update the website and add their own comments or footage as time goes by.
As well as graves, the QR codes can be added to memorials and tribute plaques on benches.

Stephen Nimmo from Chester Pearce in Poole said: “I just thought we could use technology to provide more information about people who have died to bring back the memories.
“The idea is to provide a service that people can use to help them grieve.”

He added: “People often wander around cemeteries and look at gravestones and wonder who that person was.
“By using the QR codes they can find out all they need to know.”
The QR codes cost up to £300 and an extra £95 covers unlimited hosting on the website.
