The document discusses ways to connect physical objects and locations to digital information by embedding QR codes that can be scanned by mobile devices. This would allow physical items like seeds packets or objects in libraries to tell their stories and share knowledge when scanned, weaving together the digital, physical, and mobile worlds. A simple example given is adding QR codes to seed packets that are then mapped on an open platform for creative people to engage with.
