Interactive printer for printing a coded interface

A system where a special pen reads hidden codes from a first surface. This information is sent to a computer, which processes it and instructs a printer. The printer then creates a new coded pattern, defining regions and relative positions, onto a second surface.

Why it matters: Filed before ubiquitous high-resolution cameras and advanced computer vision. The sensing stylus and coded printing are now practical with off-the-shelf technology.
