ABSTRACT:
The present invention contemplates a novel method and device that combines one of more coordinate scanners which can digitize and communicate to a computer the exact location of the placement of a pointer on any designated surface and perform a variety of preprogrammed responses. More specifically, the invention relates to the methods and apparatuses used to identify specific points of indicia on a surface in front of the scanner. This surface is identified to a computer by identifying indicia such as a bar code or other manner of specifically identifying the surface. The computer will perform preprogrammed designated audio or visual or other electronic responses to identified points on the surface by matching the identified point on the surface with an electronic version of the surface in memory and a preprogrammed task for such a match. The designated surface may be flat or it may consist of a contoured surface in a wide variety of sizes and materials.
