Smart marker

A system, comprising:

• a first subsystem configured to determine an absolute position of a marker;
• a second subsystem on the marker configured to capture sensor data generated by handwriting on the marker board using the marker;
• and
• a third subsystem to generate digital handwriting refined using a learning algorithm for handwriting recognition based on data from the first and second subsystems, the learning algorithm receiving and classifying signals from the second subsystem and outputting a result prompting refinement of writing using the marker.

A method comprising:

• providing a marker for writing on a marker board;
• capturing signals from a motion sensor in the marker as the marker is moved relative to the marker board;
• and
• implementing at least one learning algorithm for conversion of the signals from the motion sensor to a digital domain, the learning algorithm receiving and classifying the signals and outputting a result useful for refining use of the marker, refinements of use being useful to adjust the learning algorithm.
