Electronic Imaging at Xerox

Steven B. Bolte

As imaging technology increasingly moves from its optical origins to a digital electronics platform, one of Xerox Corp.'s research goals is to provide a seamless interchange between documents in paper and electronic forms. In pursuit of this goal, we generally view electronic imaging from one of three perspectives. First, we are interested in ways Xerox's traditional paper-based products are enhanced by electronic imaging. Second, we are exploring opportunities for remote access to, and display of, documents generated by electronic imaging. Finally, we are investigating and addressing ways that electronic imaging changes our concept of a document and of documenting.
