Re:Doesn't work that well (Score 1)

I am one of the inventors of I/O Brush, and I also set up the version at AEC. We had to simplify the brush at AEC to make it fool proof, and it was futher simplified during the last year. However, at MIT, we have a much more advanced version. The latest one has four pressure sensors (each 10 bit resolution) that measure the pressure from the bristles directly. This allows us not only to have a binary value (touching versus not touching), but on the canvas we also know how much pressure the user applied, and if the brush was tilted. We also added an inclinometer so that we always know where's up (the rotation of the brush). We added many more features that the AEC version unfortunately does not have. Just visit the Media Lab, there the most recent brush is set up--it works so much more better than the AEC version. Especially the inclinometer makes the brush much more expressive. We added also a different movie mode (I mean different from the AEC version), which creates fantastic brush strokes.
