Digital Pen technology is a groundbreaking tool for collecting information and relaying it electronically to back-office systems within seconds using mobile phone or internet technology.The digital pen uses ink and handles just like a normal ballpoint pen, but it also contains a digital camera, an advanced image processing system and a communication unit, for example for wireless Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone.

When using a digital pen, a tiny camera in the pen registers the pen's movement across the grid surface on the paper and stores it as series of map coordinates. These coordinates correspond to the exact location of the page you’re writing on.

Personal computers will soon be replaced by Pensonal computers(miniature computers with Bluetooth Technology).Look at the forthcoming computers within our pockets(Prototype Pictures).

The computers are based on Electronic perception technology , low cost and practical technology that permits machines and electronic devices of any nature to “see” by tracking nearby objects in three dimensions in real time.
