We often get asked “how can you read the data from piqlFilm in the long-distance future”?
piqlFilm is unique in the sense that it is the only permanent and eternal storage medium that is completely self-contained. This means that everything you need to retrieve the data from the piqlFilm is stored on the media itself, without the need of help from Piql or other technology vendors or the needing to rely on technology from the past.
Today you can use the piqlReader to quickly get your data back, but the whole solution has been designed to be completely independent of any technological evolution. We here describe how this can be done in the future.
The decoding process of the data can be split into two main steps which we describes in the following two articles:
Step one: Capture the data from the piqlFilm
How to capture data from film?
Step two: Decode the data
