Hi Andrew Davidhazy's scanner camera info is at:
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-better-scanner-cam.html http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-demo-scanner-cam.html A scanner is actually a very specialized digital strip camera. Its designed to construct a digital image (much like a circuit camera) of a piece of paper as the scanner element moves below the paper. To get these to work as a camera one would have to disable to interior illumination If anyone ever gets a scanner converted to a camera it would be cool to modify the imaging element movement so that it rotates around an axis instead of moving in a straight line. If the images element could rotate it might be able to take digital panoramics :) Or even better - set up the camera so that it take constructs linear strip images of various lengths as the camera is moved - you could move the camera along and construct very long strip iamges. All sorts of very cool images could be made.
