Project: Annotation Extraction with Infrared Light (2020 - )

We modified a flatbed scanner by adding an infrared LED to its light guide. As the ink of most pens is invisible in the infrared spectrum, this scanner can be used to extract handwritten annotations from printed documents.


Project: Input Device Latency (2017 - )

Measuring and understanding latency of input devices


Project: Latency Measurement (2017 - )

Measuring and understanding latency of computer systems
