Abstract
The present invention relates to a sheet orientation detection system. In particular, it relates to a sheet orientation detection system for detecting the orientation of a sheet on a substantially flat surface, the system comprising a sheet- receiving tablet having a substantially flat sheet-receiving surface and a sensing means directed to the underside thereof, the sensing means being adapted to provide a sensor output; a complimentary sheet having a working side and an idle side; and processing means for processing the sensor output into an orientation output. The system of the invention allows the user to interact with the sheet while the sheet is present on sheet-receiving surface. Incorporation of a digitizer into the system of the invention allows the invention to capture a user's intended message. The invention further relates to an electronic voting system using the sheet orientation detection system.
