7. Reading  QRCodes  
   •  To  read  the  Graphic  
   – A  Program  will  use  a  camera/scanner  
   – The  program  processes  the  data  
   •  Passes  the  data  through  an  open  access  image  
   interpreter  
   –  Local  or  outside      
   •  Uses  it  
   •  Passes  the  data  on  to  another  program
