Re: qr code and guidelines

I disagree that 2.4.5 could not apply.

The SC says " Functionality that can be operated by device motion or user
motion can also be operated"

The Understanding says " The intent of this success criterion is to ensure
that functions triggered by moving a device (for example, shaking or
tilting) or by gesturing towards the device (so that sensors like a camera
can pick up and interpret the gesturing), can also be operated by more
conventional user interface components. "

I would think moving a camera into position to have the QR code may fall
under that intent. Generally, when you move a device into the correct
position and it detects a QR code something happens.
