Techniques are described for creating and manipulating software notes representative of physical notes. A computing device is described that includes a processor and an image collection module executable on the processor and configured to receive an input image of an environment having a plurality of physical notes. An image processing engine executable on the processor is configured to identify the plurality of physical notes in the input image and generate, for each of the physical notes, a corresponding digital note. The image processing engine is further configured to identify an indication of one or more groups of the plurality of identified notes in the input image and group the plurality of digital notes according to the indication.

Note recognition and association based on grouping indicators

At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature systems and methods for managing notes. The note management system includes a note source, a note recognition module, a note extraction module, and a note labeling module. The note source is a visual representation of a scene having a note. The note recognition module is configured to receive the visual representation and determine a general boundary of the note from the visual representation. The note extraction module is configured to extract content of the note from the visual representation based on the determined general boundary. The note labeling module is configured to label the note with a category.

Systems and methods for managing notes

A communication article and system comprising a writing member having a dry erasable front surface and a projection member is disclosed. The projection member includes an asymmetric optical diffuser that scatters light in a first direction with a first viewing angle A, and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with a second viewing angle A. The ratio A/Ais at least about 2.

Dry erasable projection article and system

Assemblies containing a substrate with pockets for electromagnetically responsive particles can be made for a variety of uses, including, for example, display media, lenses, and color-changing fabric. The arrangement of these pockets can be selected to provide higher particle density than previously realized. The assembly includes an assembly substrate, particles, and a top coat layer.
