Daniel Reetz on The Why in DiY Book Scanning

2

The DiY Book Scanner community has produced a diverse ecosystem of book scanning hardware and software to address a wide range of human needs since it was founded in June 2009. Daniel Reetz- an artist and a Ph.D student studying visual neuroscience – recently developed a high-speed book scanning system using open source technology, cheap cameras, and garbage. In this talk he presents case studies from the DiY community, and fosters discussion on how the future of digital books can address unmet needs.
