Generating QR Codes for your Driftscape Content

QR codes are an easy way to connect printed materials to your content in Driftscape. By scanning a QR code, visitors can instantly open a specific point of interest, tour, or organization page in the app or web version.

You can place QR codes on signs, brochures, plaques, or websites to guide users directly to the experience you want them to see.

What are QR Codes in Driftscape?

A QR code is a scannable image that contains a link. In Driftscape, QR codes are created from deeplinks, which are special links that open specific content inside the app or web version.

When a user scans a QR code:

• The link opens automatically.

• The user is taken directly to the linked content.

• This can be a POI, tour, menu, or organization view.

QR codes work both inside and outside the Driftscape app. 

Examples of Use Cases for QR Codes

Use Case 1: Visitor Centre Displays

Place a QR code at your visitor centre so guests can instantly open your organization’s content.

Use Case 2: Outdoor Plaques or Signs

Add QR codes to heritage plaques, trail signs, or attraction markers so visitors can scan for more information.

Use Case 3: Indoor Exhibits or Tours

Place QR codes beside exhibits or stops in a tour so users can scan and follow along digitally.
