You might have a scanner in your home or business. But, I’m going to show you a scanner that you probably don’t have. It’s a wand, and really nothing more than a toy. It’s very cool, though. It’s a LighTalk LED Scanner, available from our friends at ThinkGeek.

This little gadget is simple to use. Just push the button, and your image or doodle is scanned in. Then, take the pen-shaped scanner and wave it back and forth in the air. Your image will appear right in thin air for others to see. Isn’t that unreal? This is version two of this toy, and has even better features than before!

The LighTalk Scanner holds up to eight images, and has a “continuous display” mode, that allows you to cycle through all eight of your scanned pictures. Amaze your friends or co-workers with your clever doodles, and magical display of them!

After I drew my smiley face, I pressed the button and slowly scanned across my drawing. I then pressed the button again, and began waving the wand back and forth. You guys all saw that, right? The LighTalk uses a technology called Persistence of Vision.

You can scan anything with this, as long as it’s dark and the background it’s on is light. Why would you do this? Uhm – you would do it simply because you can! So there you go, just another fun little toy that I get to play with for hours on end, and possibly annoy Ponzi or the dogs with!
