Business cards have become less of a way to disseminate contact information and more about brand extension, so it makes no sense to spend so much money on them only to be thrown out after someone transcribes all the relevant information into an electronic or pre-historic paper address book. This, along with the environmental ramifications of throwing away chunks of paper is one of the reasons we have refrained from using business cards, and are (administratively) paperless. Even so, for those who yearn for business cards, the B-Scanner is at your service.
Just slide in any standard size card and an image capture is kept in memory. You sort and thumb thru each card via a jog dial and everything shows up beautifully on an OLED screen, sharp enough for small text. Still a concept but I know a lot of old school folks who still tote around business card holders. I think they would jump at something like this. However I do have 2 beefs. Many modern cards utilize texture in the design which a screen doesn’t pick up. Many also use front and back layouts which this concept doesn’t seem to accommodate.
