I'm thinking, Portal-like attachments in the ceiling that randomly move around - probably at night, to avoid scaring shoppers. Or maybe you could get away with a couple of computers hooked up to half a dozen projectors, projecting random imagery on the ceiling. You could even do something interesting like a rainforest canopy, clouds, etc.

If you know the location, size and orientation of each (which can be encoded in the QR itself), you should be able to calculate the position of the cameea pretty accurately by meassuring the perspective distortion.
