Each square is unique, and in the realm of mathematical possibility there are enough such squares to cover the surface of the United States - four times. The digital pen, or Chatpen, as Anoto has christened it, contains a tiny infrared camera that recognizes the patterns and essentially photographs, 100 times a second, the pen's interaction with the paper. In this way, it "reads" what's been written. The pen then processes...
