Iris : a solution for executing handwritten code

2012

Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad This paper presents a novel approach to executing handwritten code, the solution coined Iris. My research falls within the field of mobile app development, handwriting recognition, optical and intelligent character recognition (OCR & ICR), machine learning, as well as various Computer Science-related fields such as domain specific languages, or DSLs. The solution outlined in this paper details a system where one can author code using only a writing utensil (such as a pen), scratch paper (such as a napkin), and a smart phone. Iris leverages the power of the cloud to process an image of hand…
