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.
