    Why would a computer automatically process QR codes? Detecting a QR code and reading one are totally different.

      Why would a computer automatically process QR codes?

      Because it needs to translate the code into text for the viewer, so the viewer can decide whether or not to go to the link.

      Open up your camera, set it to capture mode, hover over a code, and see for yourself. You’ll get a link-text right above the code that you can click on.
