Site Signage Possibilities

Using ConnexTo, a phone with internet capabilities will connect people to parts of the city often left unexplored by the common tourist. Along a series of sixteen nodes defined by the Freedom Trail, people will have a choice of new experiences defined by 2D codes that can be scanned into our phones.

Due to the limited space we have to work with on site because of cost issues, an alignment with existing signage on each site would raise the visibility of our project. With the capabilities of our phones today, video, audio and photographic representation of the new suggested sites are possible. Here are existing signage possibilities I found on the Faneuil Hall site that could be used:

Getting into contact with the Faneuil Hall owners, for example, will be crucial to the idea of tying into existing site signage. Because we have the advantage of making these codes very small, tying into this signage should not be a huge challenge.
