Interaction design

The people at MIT have developed a brush that allows you to brush whatever it can see. The brush scans the surface of an object by putting the brush on the object. The brush turns this scan into a texture which can be used to brush on a wall.

But not only can the brush use stills for brushing it can also capture movements of the object that is being scanned. Likely with a camera this is captured and after brushing this texture the movement stays alive and is displayed on the wall as well. In the video one example is shown of capturing ‘blinking eyes’ which are then brushed on the wall. Also on the wall the eyes keep blinking, that is cool!
