Now that is cool - quite a simple concept, but i should imagine v. hard to make it effective. Is the brush big, or the child small?

So correct me if i'm wrong, the brush scans the true colour and then the child uses it to paint on the virtual screen.

cool

It would be really great with the "whiteboards" they have in school now. At the moment they seem to be stuck with about 4 colours.

I think the brush also creates an impression of the texture as well.

Yeah - it looks like it takes the texture, and paints the texture as a repeating image.. Or video if its in that mode.
