This could be a good way of capturing the sketch book giving you both a 'digital' and 'analogue' version simultaneously with zero effort from the user. Also, using this technology would mean that people do not forget to record their sketchbook digitally.
There's possibly a better version of this that records onto an inanimate object, a key ring or cover for a sketch book, without any interfacing. That could then be read back, or used to power an interactive installation.
ReplyDeleteOCR would be an interesting extension, and I would love to see what would happen if you built an application with a sort of time slider, so you create drawings based on a start and end time rather than producing individual image files.
Nice find.
