Think computing and you think desktops, laptops, notebooks, ultra mobiles and snazzy smartphones. Well, a company called Livescribe hopes to change all that with its Paper based computing platform.
The technology they are introducing is a combination of SmartPen with micro-dots based paper. The SmartPen is a device that can associate text that is written with audio that it records or with video as well. The micro-dots embedded in the paper enable a sort of co-ordinates based recognition system for the SmartPen so that it can associate audio and video with the text written on the paper.
An ideal device you would think for note-taking or for scribbling an e-mail to your friend. But the company has a wider vision where they feel the technology can even replace several mobile computing platforms.
It is innovative technology like this that sets trends in mobile computing. The wait is to see whether the device does catch the imagination of the customers.
