Moleskine Smart Notebook — Turn hand-drawn sketches into fully workable vector files
The Moleskine Smart Notebook is a Creative Cloud connected sketchbook. Draw your artwork, capture it with the CC Moleskine app and voilà, it turns into an editable JPEG image!

This is pretty interesting. It's also worth mentioning Mod Notebooks (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) for folks interested in the digitalization of physical notebooks.
@calebrown not great experiences there so far -- your notebook ends up being trapped inside their app, there are performance issues, etc.
@saranormous super sorry to hear that. I've had the opposite experience. I never want to use another notebook ever again.
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
I love how the lines are blurring between reality and the virtual.
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.
Does anyone know what's special about the notebook itself? Can't you just take a photo of any drawing?

@the_jozen_one it has special markers to auto-adjust for perspective when you snap a photo through their app.
@pmg @the_jozen_one 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.
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.
