3D Sketching on a 2D SurfaceHere’s an interesting concept from MIT’s media lab called “Beyond”. The sketches are pretty low fi, but the concept it downright interesting.The system uses a collapsible pen to essentially extrude or punch into the third dimension on the two dimensional surface. It’d be cool to see this with more resolution, refinement, pressure sensitivity, and all the bells and whistles. In any case, it’s worth a gander.
