The game Scan Command: Jurassic Park was considered unique for its use of which device that consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones?
Barcode reader A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an electronic device that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain "decoder" circuitry analyzing the barcode's image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.
Test light A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a simple piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence or absence of an electric voltage (usually alternating current (AC) in a piece of equipment under test. A test light is generally simpler and less costly than a measuring instrument such as a multimeter, and often suffices for checking for the presence of voltage on a conductor. Properly designed test lights include features to protect the user from accidental electric shock. Non-contact test lights can detect voltage on insulated conductors.
