Interesting Video Camera Project
February 13th, 2008 by wd5gnr
Take a look at this video from MIT. The brush itself seems almost trivial. It looks like a “web cam” with a brush around it. What isn’t trivial is the big touch sensitive screen!
Very cool idea though. I wonder how you could adapt it to something pen sized on a standard LCD monitor. Come to think of it, I wonder if a regular light pen would work with an LCD since there really isn’t any “raster” as we know it — is there?

Hi,
I was president of FastPoint Technologies, the largest light pen manufacturer in the world, until the company shut down last summer. And why did we shut down? Well, the LCD was not our friend, at all. You correctly identified the problem — no raster, no light pen function. We tried and tried, and could not find a viable solution to the problem. (Other than a touchscreen.)
