A Portable Scanner for Smartphones

[CommanderFrank]

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best solutions. A Kickstarter project has produced a simple, yet effective device using your smartphone to produce sharp, clear scanner images. It’s called the Scanbox, and will be available soon for purchase.

Quality document cameras are rather expensive. This could be great in classrooms with projectors.

This really looks like something you could make out of a thin cardboard cutout.

It would be nicer in my opinion if http://www.joyunbound.com/2012/04/idea-dslr-scanning-grid-crane/ could come to life.

Really? REALLY????? a kickstarter for a cardboard cutout? WHY?

why don't you just release the JPG of the cardboard cutout so people can print it, slap it on a piece of cardboard and cut it out?

at first i thought it would have some specialized camera app, but it's just the normal camera app.

quality of kickstarters is starting to go down.
