QR Codes

Demo


After a performance all the pictures would be used to create a photo mosaic of the performance logo or title.


Sample from LA .Net Hackathon 2011

I have these included to give a visual idea of what I'm trying to accomplish. Ideally the performance logo would be more of a square with some color. There would be many more input tiles to work with. There were < 100 in this on and 95% of them were of me working on the project.

I used AndreaMosaic to create these mock ups. I hope to create the photo mosaic from the application in the future.
