I/O Brush

Not many of us are aware of a device named I/O Brush which aims to wipe out the differences between “painting in the real world” and “painting in computing environment”. It came in existence during the PhD work(2003-05) of Kimiko Ryokai at MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology). At that time, Stefan Marti, who also contributed to the project, was the Research Assistant at MIT Media Lab.

How it works?

The new drawing tool- I/O Brush gives the freedom of exploring colors, textures, and movements found in surrounding objects by "picking up" and start drawing with them. Now, this is very much easy to use and realistic by nature in many ways with those amazing feature. The device looks like a normal physical paintbrush but inside the ring of those bristles, it has a small CCD video camera, and a ring of white LEDs around it. There are force sensors embedded inside the brush, which measure the applied pressure to the bristles. At the time of touching the surface, the LED lights around the camera temporarily turn on to provide required light for the camera.

Few words about Technology :

In this modern and smarter world, one may think that the latest trends like internet, gadgets like mobile phones, iPods, laptops or vehicles like cars, aeroplanes, spacecrafts are the only technologies that we know. But this is not true; believe me or not, the use of technology began in the ancient days as soon as humans learned to convert natural resources into usable tools. In those ancient days, human species discovered and used their own technology for making and controlling fire(about 500,000 – 1 million years ago), they build wheels(about 5,000 – 6,000 years ago) - these things helped the ancient people to avail foods and traveling, which made their living easier in the tough world of that time.

Definition of Technology : 

Technology can be defined in many ways, here is one definition -  "Technology is the application of tools, machines and materials and also development and processes that help to solve problems, which also represents the knowledge of how to combine resources into desired products(or tools, machines, materials and processes)."
