Contemporary visitors expect to interact and get more information about exhibition s that they visit by using information technologies. Therefore, in this paper we discuss a system that we developed to enable an improved presentation of some of the most famous cultural monuments in Niš using QR codes. The system allows to easily add inte ractive content for cultural and historical objects, in the form of text, images, sounds, or 3D models. These co ntents can be accessed by using QR codes. The QR codes are implemented as purposelydesigned plates, in accordance with requirements by professi onals from the heritage protection institutions. Scanning of the codes using mobile devices (smart phones, tablets, etc.) provides additional information to visitors in multiple languages and in a variety of multimedia formats. The provided data are about facilities, personalities, and events that monuments mark. The di scussed solution is, using web technologies, made to be cross platform and adaptable to any resolution.References
