Ipevo's Designey-from-the-'90s Desktop Document Cameras
I don’t want a LIDAR sensing, step motor actuated “value added” appliance that takes a sledgehammer to a problem that might save me from human intervention. My take is that Mr. Noe wants a device that simplifies his life. Not some elaborate concoction that requires 2 days to register, get help to activate via chat & breaks the day the warrantee expires. A simple treasure you find in a second hand store 20 years from now.
Mr Noe has expressed a desire for two functions - scanner and lamp - that are only superficially related (er, they both might sit on an articulated stand on a desk. But not optimally in the same position. And using a laptop to power a desk lamp is just daft. Oh, you want the user to unplug from the computer and into a power supply instead? Wait, you want two cables from the device, one for power and one for data? Urgh ). My take is that he is pressed for time.
It is not a given that the angle and position of a desk light would be the same as the angle and position into which a user would place a document scanner.
“…would mean the user would likely have to readjust the head of the device before and after scanning.”
