INTRODUCTION
Smart quill was invented by Lyndsey Williams of Cambridge University along with British Telecommunications.
Smart quill is a pen, which remembers the words that writes and then transfer them into computer text.
Smart quill contains sensors that records movement by using by using earth’s gravity irrespective of the platform used
WORKING
Smart quill works by measuring the pen’s movements and matching them to the movements that produce the words andletters programmed into its memory.
User can enter information into these pens by simply pressing a button and accelerometers are used to sense the movements of the pen using earths gravity system
HANDWRITING RECOGNITION AND SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
There are two techniques used for this purpose
Accelerometer Technology
Handwriting recognition Software
ACCELEROMETER TECHNOLOGY
This technology uses a device called Accelerometer which is used for measuring motion
A tiny accelerometer in a pen could be used to detect the stops and starts, arcs and loops of handwriting, and transmit this information to a small microprocessor that would make sense of it as text.
ADVANTAGES
“Spatial sensing system”
Intuitive user interface
Security
3D mouse
Power saving
Smart quill is all mobile
DISADVANTAGES
It has accelerometer errors.
It is inconvenient for persons with handtremors.
Bigger size than a normal pen.
Errors are introduced in the system due to thermal variations in the spring
CONCLUSION
The estimated cost of this futuristic pen is only $100.
SmartQuill is convenient for use.
Keyboards become so tiny you require needle-like fingers to operate them and screens that need constant cursor controls to read simple text. The introduction of SmartQuill is the best solution for this
