Description |
Scanbox is "an easy to use, affordable and unbelievably portable scanning box that uses your smartphone's camera to take amazing high quality scans. It’s easy to set up and packs down flat to easily fit into your bag or brief case." The product was made possible thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter which raised $184,499, more than ten times of the requested amount. The final version of Scanbox is made of laminated card including magnets to keep the actual box stable. A pro version of Scanbox includes LED lights on the inside. |

Context |
Scanbox combines the action of scanning with the simplicity of taking photos with the smartphone. It also eliminates the need for a specific device solely devoted to the scanning practice. In this sense, it contributes to the convergence of manyfunctions that were previously specialized into the smartphone. |
