Coloring is a favorite past time of mine, as it is for probably many people under the age of 4. Besides being useful to keep track of the difference between midnight blue, cornflower and periwinkle, coloring is an extremely relaxing activity. That means that if you wanted to have a completely balanced evening, trying coloring while watching professional wrestling.
But besides learning colors, what if you could also color with a variety of textures? And I don't just mean by taking a crayon to wall or a tree. The I/O brush, which looks like a cross between an artist's paintbrush and a vacuum cleaner attachment, allows its users to "pick up" textures by brushing them. It sounds like magic, but instead, the brush uses tiny cameras and sensors to determine the subject matter.
Unfortunately, you can't just walk into Target and pick up the I/O Brush. The existing ones are still being used for research and are located at various display exhibitions around the world. Maybe over time, mass production of the brush will become viable. Until that time, just keep your crayons handy.
