A popular scenario for using the barcode scanner is to check-in people (visitors, guests, students, etc.). A simple app for getting started with this scenario includes two tables: a table of people, and a table to log check-ins.
In this scenario, the app simply presents a form for scanning ID cards - as long as those IDs are already in the contact table, the barcode will be recognized and the name and picture of the user will be displayed.
