    It would be rad af if you could not only run Doom off of one of these (because they already run on Windows so it’s probably easy as hell to run Doom on it), but also somehow get the scanner part to use its laser to make one of those holographic keyboards to actually play Doom on it without any external devices.

      Considering those scanners usually register as keyboards and just do a dumb input “typing” it shouldn’t even be hard, lol.

      The worst part would probably be picking a barcode scheme where the inputs make sense…
