I/O Brush - The Coolest Thing Since the Invention of Photoshop

I don't know about you, but the longer I live on this planet the more it takes to surprise me. Also, to get me really excited, on par with those childhood WOOOOW moments when you learn something amazing, find the toy of your dreams or get told you are going on your dream holiday - it really takes a lot, and sadly, it doesn't happen that often. Recently, however, I did have that moment again as a dear friend of mine from the MIT passed me information about the fantastic I/O Brush. I have managed to get hold of a video, explaining how it works so without further ado: let's see if you have the same reaction as I did when I saw this ..

woooo, looks like fun, I couldn't help wondering if you could do something similar with a digital camera and a bit of editting, but non-the-less, good fun :)x

A camera...which then takes the footage and uses it as a 2D brush. Nothing new really.

Great, useful tool.

For all of you who want more information on the I/O Brush and how it works check this link: MIT Link

And no, this is definitely not just a PR stunt!

Peace,

The video was released in 2004 and classed as a publicity stunt.

This is so cool. How much does it cost?

Dang - that does look pretty cool! Definitely wow-worthy!!! ;-) Isn't it amazing how genius is always lurking around seemingly simple ideas...? :-)
