audio guide app in livecode?

[Bob Sneidar]

The only thing that comes to mind that an iPhone would be able to use is a barcode. You would have to be able to access the camera, and the older iPhones have crappy cameras so no workie with them. Seems like a non-starter right there, especially if you want the user to actually scan the bar code! 

Otherwise you would need a proprietary device that detected a minimum physical distance to a sensor node to trigger the appropriate recording, which plugged into the bottom of the iPhone, which means design and manufacturing and all that. Without that it's all academic isn't it?
