Does anyone know what's special about the notebook itself? Can't you just take a photo of any drawing?
it has special markers to auto-adjust for perspective when you snap a photo through their app.
This unfortunately has the effect of re-sizing things in a pretty crazy way if you're not using their special paper, but I guess this is not terribly unexpected.
really interested by lockitron btw. Good luck!

I love how the lines are blurring between reality and the virtual.
Did you see it on UnCrate :)?
This is pretty interesting. It's also worth mentioning Mod Notebooks () for folks interested in the digitalization of physical notebooks.
not great experiences there so far -- your notebook ends up being trapped inside their app, there are performance issues, etc.
super sorry to hear that. I've had the opposite experience. I never want to use another notebook ever again.
Pretty bummed I can't try this. The app requires an adobe creative cloud account to sign in but offers no way to create one in the app :/ edit: I made an account by following the link. The app itself is pretty unpolished and needs a lot of work.
Unfortunately, have tried the app and it's not very good...doesn't handle shadows on paper etc. at all, doesn't recognize what areas of the page are interested, so the processed SVGs are super messy. Hopefully it's a little better with the moleskine paper notebook -- would love to hear from someone who has used
This is very cool, would be great to have a marketplace on top of it
I would be interested in seeing some comparison shots to show off how much the paper helps. I know some artists who already take photos and turn them into vectors, so I'd want to know how much it improves the experience for them.

very small dots on the paper that help processing. Not 100% sure how much it helps.
i was disappointed with this.
