Re: Methods To Sense The 3D Surface/Structure Of A Book

Came across http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/10/hps-sprout-pc-is-like-a-real-version-of-iron-mans-jarvis/ today. Quoting from the article.

http://www.woot.com/offers/lytro-illum-light-field-digital-camera-19?ref=cnt_dly_tl I'm posting this here instead of in Cameras and Electronics because the final 2D images are only 4MP.

Re: New scanner kit development in Austin, TX, USA?

This scanner is no longer hosted at the ATX Hackerspace. If you are in Austin, TX, USA, and need to non-destructively scan books at the equivalent quality level of a photocopy, several University of Texas libraries have "KIC" scanners, including the PCL, which is open to the public during ...

Re: A Standard Camera and Electronics Pack

1x 7-Port Powered USB Hub When I upgraded the Austin Hackerspace scanner to an RPi 1 model B+ (same form factor), the additional USB ports meant I could do away with the powered USB hub (left camera, right camera, USB keyboard, USB extension cable for user-supplied USB stick; network connectivity i...

Re: I'm retiring - and a request for comments.

Regarding public domain dedication, it could be made clearer if you mean for only the plans to be public domain, or if the content of the entire site, including the assembly instructions and your prose, are public domain also. Because a ...

Re: Nokia PureView 41MP

You mention a CameraPro manual. The only one I can find is very much a quick-start and doesn't include any info on the Wifi controls. Would you be so kind to steer me to the link for this manual?

Re: Nokia PureView 41MP

2. I've not played with the Camera Pro remote control access and was wondering ... ... if depth of field is adequate to focus once and shoot 10-20 pages before needing to re-focus (manually) to speed the capture process or if the focus/capture on trigger would be significantly slower?
