Anybody here have any more information on this than what's in the press release?

I'm sure many of us here would love to have such a device...and that it'll at least at first be way more than most of us can justify spending.
But there's also an entirely new dimension of calibration / profiling and process management here. I'm sure there's going to have to be something akin to color profiling that instead strives for an accurate reproduction of specularity and the like...and I'm really curious to know more about how Canon is going about both recording the data and processing it.
...and then there's all the possibilities not for reproduction but for artists to create novel works with otherwise-impossible surface properties....
