I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special “ink” they just picked up from their immediate environment.
It looks like a loss-leader
It looks like a loss-leader designed to sell you a large screen rear projection display. Corel Painter IX does most of that onscreen with its brush tools.
