Eyeball Camera Scanner - Philips Vesta Pro Scan - Brief Article - Product Announcement

Michael Goldstein

Philips Vesta Pro Scan, which looks like an egg on feet, is a PC video camera that doubles as a stand-up scanner.

As a camera, Pro Scan plugs into your PC; you can move it around to point and shoot still photos or video. To use it as a scanner, you raise the egg on its tripod, point the camera nose down, and shoot. Images, charts, text, and even 3-D objects can be scanned at up to 640- by 480-pixel resolution then dropped into an electronic document. Optical character recognition software is included for capturing text. $99;
