Digital Camera, Digitizing Tablets, Image Scanner, Light Pen, Magnetic Ink Character Reader(MICR), Optical Mark Reader(OMR), Space Mouse, Touch Sensitive Screen


4}Digitizing Tablets: Digitizing tablets are an input device which is used to input drawings and sketches in the computer. A digitizing tablet consists of an electronic tablet and a cursor or pen. Images are usually drawn onto a flat surface with a stylus and then appear on a computer monitor or screen. It receiving information represented in drawings and sending output to a CAD (computer aided design) application and PC-based software like AutoCAD.



5} Touch Sensitive Screen: A touch sensitive screen is working both as input and output device. Touch-sensitive control-display units (CDUs) were evaluated for commercial aircraft flight decks in the early 1980s. A touch panel is a piece of equipment that lets users interact with a computer by touching the screen directly. Incorporating features into the monitor like sensors that detect touch actions makes it possible to issue instructions to a computer by having it sense the position of a finger or stylus.

6} Light Pen: It is the type of pen device. Light pen is a computer input device in the form of a light-sensitive want used in conjunction with a computer's CRT display. It was first created in 1955 as part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Whirlwind Project, a Cold War vacuum tube military computer. The light pen works by detecting the change in brightness of nearby pixels, which indicates that the CRT's electron beam is scanning in that area; it then sends the timing of this event to the computer.
7} Space Mouse: Space Mouse is a peripheral tool for controlling three-dimensional objects created by computer programmers. A three-dimensional mouse has its own system of controls and its own signals that need to be interpreted by an operating system and/or application.Space mouse is 3D Controller designed for manipulating objects in a 3D environments. It can 3D cameras at different angles to position and view  the object. 
3D connexion: Space Mouse Pro

8} Digital Still Camera: A Digital still camera is a type of input device which is used in photography. Traditional cameras capture light into photographic film but Digital camera uses electronics to store photographs.
          The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1888-1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888.

9} Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR): Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is uses special ink to character recognition which has special font of special numbers and symbols. It is a technology used to verify the legitimacy or originality of paper documents, especially checks. When a document that contains this ink needs to be read, it passes through a machine, which magnetizes the ink and then translates the magnetic information into characters. MICR provides a secure, high-speed method of scanning and processing information.

10} Optical Mark Reader (OMR): OMR is an input device which is used to entering data in the computer. Optical Mark Reader reads the pencil or pen marked made by human to capturing document forms such as surveys and tests and save the data into an output file which you can use to perform further analysis. They are used to read questionnaires, multiple choice examination paper in the form of lines or shaded areas. Michael Sokolski (September 25, 1926 – June 13, 2012) was a Polish-born American design engineer who is the inventor of OMR.


11} Image Scanner: Image Scanner is a device which is used to Scan the any hard copy of any image of paper in the Soft copy of computer system to store data for further use or analysis. Like we can upload our documents image to fill up the form of competition or school/college registration. There are special models for scanning photo negatives, or to scan books. In the computer, the signal from the scanner is transferred to a digital image. Russell Kirsch and his team at the US National Bureau of Standards in the year 1957 built the first image drum scanner.

There are four types of scanners:
1.     Flat-bed Scanner
2.     Sheet-fed Scanner
3.     Drum Scanner
4.     Portable Scanner

1} Flat-bed Scanner: A flatbed scanner is an optical scanner which makes use of a flat surface for scanning documents.  The scanner is capable of capturing all elements on the document and does not require movement of the document. A Flatbed scanners often come with sheet feeders for scanning multiple sheets of paper rather than one at a time.
2} Sheet-Fed Scanner: A Sheet-fed scanner is also known as Automatic document feeder(ADF) is a digital imaging system which is specifically designed for scanning loose sheets of paper. It is widely used by business organizations to prepare their loose papers. They are capable of handling, duty cycle rating, speed (pages per minute), and duplex capability. 
 3} Drum Scanner:  A Drum Scanner can capture highest resolution of image. In large format photographers there are really just a few options when it comes to digitizing our beautiful sheets of film: Flatbed scanners like the Epson v700/750 or v800/850, a few very expensive dedicated scanners like the Hasselblad Flextight, or a drum scanner.

4} Portable Scanner: A portable scanner is a type of hand-held scanner. This device work same as flat-bed scanner which convert any of a physical document in the Digital format. This device is especially useful when space is a concern, as flatbed scanners tend to take up a large amount of space.
