Digital Magna Doodle

I’ve been making a cool custom whiteboard for my home office,  but keep thinking.  I wish it was more simple to digitize what I write on the board.  Using evernote and a digital camera works well,  but its not the same as a digital surface.  I have been thinking about a children s toy called a magna doodle and wondering if there is any way to digitally manipulate or scan weather each cell is filled or unfilled in an efficient way.  If this were possible then it would be really simple to digitize large surfaces that don’t require superfine resolution.  I think of white boards,  classrooms,  architectural plans and things of that nature.

This video on How Stuff Works explains how the Magna Doodle operates,  it seems earily digital already:
