There's a company here in Germany who showed such a system at the
recent CeBit Computer Fair in Hannover.

Their address is:

	Control Data GmbH
	Stresemannallee 30
	60596 Frankfurt/Main
	Germany
	Tel. (069) 6305-228 (Intl.: +49(69)6305-228)
	Fax: (069) 6305-288

The system is called ICEM PHOTO.

Hope this helps,
