Hello From Perú, This apps is available in some library?. Is there some workpaper about it? Is there some web site to read? I'm interested in this subject. Thank you for the response and congratulation

Thanks for your interest! We are getting ready to implement our first test of the real system in the Art and Architecture library at Miami University. We will be doing an experiment to determine how much it improves speed and accuracy of shelf reading, and hope to present results at either LITA or ACRL. When the time comes, we will post some updated videos.

I am very interested in how this could be used to keep video materials in order. If you got it to the point where the QR code on a DVD style case could be read would the other QR codes need to be of the same size? I am wondering because the collection I manage has many DVDs, but there still is a huge volume of VHS tapes and I'm wondering how would the app deal with multiple size QR codes. This is very exciting work!

[Bo Brinkman]

It should not be too hard to allow both DVD-sized cases and VHS-sized cases on the same shelf. Do you put the call number on the spine of the DVD, right now? With our current tag-printing functionality, the call number wouldn't fit on something that narrow, but the tag itself would fit...

The application is not actually as slow as it appears in the video. The slow frame-rate is due to the way I am capturing the video ... by taking screen-shots over and over.
