This genial machine enables us to digitalize whole book in less than minute. I think we can make some money with this… Imagine that we can offer fast and easy book scanning service for some reasonable price. We can scan 100 books under two hours with minimal cost (well we need ~500 FPS webcam - which is probably expensive)

Hardware

Manual Scanner

  • 'Standart' Manual scanner is good alternative to lower the cost vastly (but also vastly increase scanning time)
  • Lots of resources on this topic: http://www.diybookscanner.org/
  • Software
      • will be really cool when version 1.0 (with dewarping function) will arive
      • can be used to produce scans in google books quality using simple camera(s)
