New and more affordable imaging and recovery of old documents. Genealogy next?

The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has developed an imaging system capable of assisting the imaging of old documents, books, and artifacts that have faded or damaged words and sections. It is more affordable for many institutions around the world. The words below are from https://www.rit.edu/news/misha. I suggest reading the full article and then watching the video at the end. AMAZING to see the students involved in this project.
