Painting in 3D in Virtual Reality

Innovate LINK

Another “cool” application of Virtual Reality. Also, another fairly limited one – but still really cool. Draw in virtual reality with a variety of colors and paint brushes of light. The video above doesn’t show it, but someone used this tool to make a sweet dragon… sculpture? VR 3-D painting? Wonder what people will call these creations. Of course, this is a Google tool limited to one specific phone. So not very available for, well, most people. The videos show that you can walk around your creations from all sides. But can you share them with others to view? Can you work collaboratively on the same piece? One interesting use I could see for this beyond art: build 3D models more intuitively than existing 3D modeling programs, and then export those designs to games, 3D printers, etc.
