Air painting with Corel Painter Freestyle and the leap motion controller: a revolutionary new way to paint!

Published:21 July 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

The feel of air painting is like none other! It is like being a dancer, conductor and magician all wrapped up in one. As legendary science fiction writer and visionary, Arthur C. Clarke, famously said, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Air painting is indeed magical! Imagine being able to control every aspect of the painting process through only gesture and movement of your fingers in the air, and being able to paint with up to ten simultaneous brush strokes controlled by the movement of your fingers and thumbs on both hands. This is now a reality with the combination of the revolutionary new Leap Motion Controller providing 3-D motion-generated input data to the Corel Painter Freestyle application. It is the powerful synergy of these two complementary technologies applied to fine art observational painting that is the focus of this talk.
