Flexible Scanner for under $10

Over at Addict3D... Cannot find original article. At time of this post the web site of "New Scientist" is down. There is a joke there, but I am of too happy a spirit this morning to crack one. Really. Anyway, the scanner looks cool.

Tokyo University's wraparound scanner - addict3d.org: "Tokyo University's Quantum-Phase Electronics Centre has come up with a scanner in the form of a flexible plastic sheet containing organic diodes that can be placed against an object to scan it. This makes it possible to get a perfect scan of both pages of old and fragile books without mauling them, for example."
