Digital action painting: Body Brush, an interface where aesthetics and technology meet, transforms the motions and gestures of visitors into impressive 3-D graphics. Color saturation, value and the density of the brushstrokes can be controlled through the painter's body gestures. In addition, an innovative feature of the Body Brush simulates the effects of throwing paint on the 3D canvas. This is done by analyzing the acceleration of body movement.
