I don't know how this works. But I was just wondering if could read card faces. If it was fixed in a shoe or table. Anyway it looks handy.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I have tested a few camera pens which I intentionally bought for what you mentioned Tommy ... as well as to read edge marked cards.
It has problems....the main problems are the lens and quality of the video sensor used in these pens. The lenses tend to be wide angle so either the cards appear too small and are hard to read unless the cards stay within a very small area on the table which is near the pen. Since you can not keep on moving the pen....the lens is a serious problem. As far as edge marks are concerned..the same problem exists and luminous edge marks do not work well because the CCDs on pen cameras are not good enough. BOTTOM LINE: If you position the camera in exactly the correct spot...a nice "marketing" video may be producted...But, the technology is not practical for the real world yet until the cameras use the correct sensors and we can change lenses. I am constantly monitoring this market and even looked into manufacturing my own camera/pen. But, it costs at least half a million dollars + a min order to have what I want manufactured
