QR Codes in Canada?

Slashdot is running a story on a Toronto company trying to bring QR codes to Canada.
Is this the start of North American QR adoption?
As we've found in our attempts to read codes in Japanese magazines, our phones will have to improve their camera's resolution for this to work.

Grant Proposal

Some things to consider for our grant proposal / conference submission:

1) Budget. Do we want to buy phones and sim cards to use? Do we want to be paid for hours worked? Do we want to include living expenses? Payment for testers? Tickets to SIGGRAPH?

2) Do we want to get some money for this, or present it at a conference? Or Both?

3) Assume we got to the stage where we have a working game and tried it out with the Lower Manhattan setting (our current goal, yes?). Where would we go from there? How do we advance this thing?

This NSF grant makes sense, more or less, for our project.

SIGGRAPH 08 might be interesting as well.
