ShotCode is a circular barcode created by High Energy Magic of Cambridge University. It uses a dartboard -like circle, with a bullseye in the centre and datacircles surrounding it. The technology reads databits from the datacircles by measuring the angle and distance from the bullseye for each point. ShotCodes are designed to be read with a ...
Lidar ( / ˈlaɪdɑːr /, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
NonVisual Desktop Access ( NVDA) is a free and open-source, portable screen reader [1] for Microsoft Windows. [2] The project was started by Michael Curran in 2006. [3] NVDA is programmed in Python. It utilizes accessibility APIs such as UI Automation, Microsoft Active Accessibility, IAccessible2 and Java Access Bridge, to access and present ...

Optical mark recognition (OMR) is the scanning of paper to detect the presence or absence of a mark in a predetermined position. [5] Optical mark recognition has evolved from several other technologies. In the early 19th century and 20th century patents were given for machines that would aid the blind.
Optical reader. An optical reader is a device that observes visual information and translates it into digital information, [1] as found within most image and barcode and matrix-code scanners. An example of optical readers are marksense systems for elections where voters mark their choice by filling a rectangle, circle, or oval, or by completing ...
