Pretty trivial, I built a browser scanner for my phone using a QR scanner library[1], while browsers are contemplating adding an API natively.[2] You would just need to use a lookup service for the UPN of the game title.

That looks really cool, and i believe we could do something by trying to match the game title's with our database. Thanks for the heads up!

No offense but it's not the barcode scanning that's the problem for this feature :)
