The DigitalDesk provides a computer-augmented environment in which paper gains
electronic properties that allow it to overcome some of its physical limitations. There are
many possible ways to enhance ordinary paper documents on this desk. The following
subsections describe three working prototype applications: a calculator, PaperPaint, and the
DoubleDigitalDesk. Other examples (such as a French-to-English translation system) are
described elsewhere [11, 17] and in the accompanying sidebar by Mackay et al.
