All I want from technology is to be able to move frictionlessly back and forth between paper and screens for editing and note-taking, is that too much to ask
I'd be curious to see how this is done. (I know nothing about it.) Cursory thoughts: 1. Split all visible characters. 2. Derive 2D vector field of char orientations. (Magnitude = relative char size.) 3. Find best fitting surface that would yield that 2d projection. 4. Flatten.
