  • How does it grab the pages when it turns them? I was thinking maybe vacuum and air to release?

  • During the moving up of the ScanHead, this low-pressure keeps the left and the right pages and scans them both.

  • Reached the top of the pages, in that moment when the ScanHead is "leaving" the 2 pages, a gentle airflow from the right side (an air-needle -the yellow small parts in the video- blows out a short air stream) turns the 2 pages and immeadiately the ScanHead moves down, to scan the next two pages and so on and so on.

  • So, frankly speaking, what the ScanRobot is doing is a continous page turning and at the same time a moving up step so that it scans the 2 pages which slide smoothly over the ScanHead.

  • Very versatile, quick book scanner. Stand under it with ur ass cheeks spread and it becomes a great recreational product too.

  • Given that books were never intended to be machine-read, it's impressive that they can be scanned at all. It even looks like this machine manages to scan the books without putting much stress at all on them. From the looks of it, the books might actually end up in better condition after having been scanned! Books with loose bindings could potentially be a problem, though...

  • Ahhhhh Input. Need.... More....... INPUT!!

  • Skynet here we come. Not to mention that Arnold is already our Gov in CA.

  • Well, if they were copying copyright material... they probably get their asses sued.

    They are scanning books that were written by real people and thus there is that issue of copyright infringement. But for private use, I guess it could be pretty useful and I'd love to own one of these.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if the company was ran by a terminator

  • crap, one step closer to skynet.

  • Looks reasonably fast to me, desktop scanners aren't any faster with the actual scanning and turning the page safely without damaging the book will always be an issue.

  • That was HOT!
