Abstract
Various devices and systems may benefit from enhanced reading of optical media. For example, certain computer systems may benefit from array reading of optical media. An apparatus may include, for example, an array of optical sensors. The array of optical sensors may be configured to read a plurality of parallel linear strips of data from an optical medium.
Claims8
An optical medium comprising:
- a fixed form in a shape of a prism, the prism including a proximate end and a distal end, the prism further including a plurality of planar upper sides each extending from the proximate end to the distal end, the plurality of upper sides arranged at an angle to one or two other upper sides;
- the prism further including at least one planar lower side extending from the proximate end to the distal end and joined to two of the upper sides;
- and
- a first linear data track formed onto an outer surface of at least one of the upper sides of the fixed form.
