Paper To iPad Pen helps artist digitalize their work

paper to ipad pen 1

Bringing your finely crafted art from paper to the virtual world can still be a pain without the right tools, but this pen is the best tool we’ve seen yet. Say goodbye to headaches.

Technology and art are no longer mutually exclusive and one feeds off of the other, and generate some fantastic synergy between the two.  Yet, turning art, doodles, drawings and sketches to digital remains a rather painful, cumbersome process, and some users just prefer drawing on paper first instead of on their tablets. This is the group this $169.95 Instant Transmitting Paper To iPad Pen is aiming to please.

What this pen does is digitize whatever you do on physical paper so it shows up on your tablet screen too, so the author is left with both a digital and a hard copy of whatever they just did. This is useful not only for art, but also for taking notes in class or at a meeting.

The way it works is that It has the pen pair up with a receiver clipped to the top of any surface, and transmits a digital version of each and every trace to a tablet or smartphone.Furthermore, this content can be saved (up to 100) pages at a time and be transferred later, which isn’t bad at all.

Meet Hal Lasko, the 97-Year-Old Pixel Painter

Pixel Painter

Hal Lasko is legally blind, but that doesn’t stop him from creating awe-inspiring works of art. His medium of choice is especially unusual. Hal doesn’t use oil or pencils; rather, he uses a mouse and Microsoft Paint to come up with unique and detailed masterpieces. The basic paint program has a zoom feature, so Hal takes advantage of that to make up for his deteriorating eyesight.

Hal, aka the Pixel Painter, began creating pixel art fifteen years ago. He’s pretty dedicated to his craft too, as he spends about ten hours a day in front of the PC working on his latest piece.

Prints of Hal’s pixel art are available here. Each one is priced at $98.

Luminogeist 3D iPhone Displays: Prism Power

People love their smartphones, and it’s hard to remember how we actually managed to get anything done in the past with only our dumbphones. Check out this interesting digital art installation from Japan that highlights smartphones.

Japanese designer Yuri Endo developed Luminogeist as the final phase in his thesis project at IDAS. The installation uses glass prisms which reassemble 3D image components from the mobile displays below. The prisms allow the extraction what’s being shown on the smartphone’s screen, making them look almost like floating holograms. Check it out, it’s pretty cool:

I wonder if this technique could be used with tablets or flat panel TVs to display floating images inside of even larger prisms.

Care to take a walk down memory lane by way of the information superhighway? Good, because 21st century digital natives and Luddites alike could stand to benefit from some virtual navel-gazing. In what's essentially a 'look at how far we've come' exhibit, My Life Scoop, Intel's "connected lifestyle" site, has a collection of the more notable experiments that've sprung from our surprising interactions with the internet. Starting from the dial-up days of the mid-90's and working up to the near present, curious users can peep the wacky ways we've used the web as a tool, ranging from a remote community gardening project (The Telegarden) to a stock index that auto-adjusts dress hemlines (Stock Market Skirt) to an interactive, Arcade Fire-soundtracked film made to showcase Google Chrome (The Wilderness Downtown). But don't let us just tell you about these visual delights. Strap on those culture hats and meander through the finer artistic points of our shared online evolution at the source below.
