The World is Your Palette
If the world really were my palette, that would be totally awesome. MIT is bringing that dream one step closer to reality by introducing the I/O Brush; a drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by sampling those textures to paint with them.
It looks like a giant brush but looks can be deceiving. The brush is more than meets the eye. Equipped with a small camera and touch sensors inside, the brush gives creativity a new meaning, especially to kids. Most beginning painters are concerned with creating the end result. The I/O brush reinforces the idea of creating your own "ink" first, then painting with it. This digital ink makes you look at your immediate environment in a different way - what textures would be cool to use. It's a unique approach to painting.
