Harish sets up his workspace and turns on main power, and the lights, subsequently
selecting if he wants top, bottom or both lights to be on. He then sets up the camera
zoom and focus. (All these tasks have been grouped together according to the
sequence of use commonly found during user study. These are one time tasks and
hence have been located at the top right corner.)

Harish then continues to set up his paper and other stationary that he needs and
finally draws his first frame. He hits capture to capture the frame in the embedded
lunchbox present inside his light-box. The screen changes to 00002 and indicates that
it is automatically capturing x2 (repeating every frame twice).
The feedback for the frame he just captured is shown on screen for 2 seconds giving
him a visual confirmation of the frame that was captured.
