    Hallo experts,

    I've found this video on Youtube showing a guy painting a Mona Lisa on a touchscreen only by penspinning: http://bit.ly/bE1HXc

    Now my question to you … the experts: is something like this really possible? Has someone of you already tried it?

    Kind regards
    Elias

    obviously fake...

    but there is some research being done right now in trying to write while pen spinning. doing it on a tablet with a regular mod is a good idea though because its easier. but still we have trouble even writting letters so drawing something like that is not possible right now.

    Haha, just a commercial (fake), although very interesting concept. =]. I think it'd be possible but it wouldn't get that sort of result...

    Something like that is possible right now, it's just that no-one has bothered to put in the practice yet.

    Fake.
    The screen is a capacitive touch screen because he zooms out with his fingers.
    The screen wouldn't register the pen since it's not a conductor.

    I think it says on the video that it's a modified stylus for the tablet (the mod). No idea.

    Am I the only one wondering who this person is? He has to belong somewhere if he can spin at that level.

    Probably a European. FPSB? GPC? my guess.

    God damn it, that's crazy but unfortunately that's fake.
    Btw, i believed he belongs to GPC (because he said he's an German tongue.gif).
    Any one want to try "something" like that tongue.gif ?

    with the Ipad you can use two cotton swabs thin like and have a hollow aluminum or metal rod, thinking of the penwish stick or something stick two in each side, dampen both sides it and then use that =P Would be really cool if someone got it nice could probably go to the street and do stuff like that making portraits of people 4 money or something ;]
