Abstract

A method, apparatus, and manufacture for writing and annotation is provided. An image is provided on a surface. Each time invisible ink is deposited on the surface, the location of the invisible ink deposited on the surface is detected before the invisible ink vanishes from the surface. The invisible ink automatically vanishes from the surface in less than one minute from the time that the invisible ink is deposited on the surface. Location information is stored based on each detected location. The projected image is modified based, at least in part, on the stored location information.
