MIT's I/O Brush

As always, another cool project out of the MIT Media Lab. Make sure you check out the link to the video. The explanation doesn't quite do it justice. I'll let MIT explain the rest:
I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.

Yeah, cool but it probably isn't that hard to do as long as you have some cash. Who can think of a practical or money making application? Posted by: polamex at October 5, 2005 7:46 PM |
