MIT and Georgia Tech researchers are designing an imaging system that can read closed books.
In the latest issue of Nature Communications, researchers at MIT and Georgia Tech describe a prototype of the system, which they tested on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets.
