The Scribit robot drawing machine, which reached its Kickstarter funding goal of $50 000 in under two hours, allows you to turn your wall into an interactive canvas.
The write and erase robot, a world first, is designed by MIT professor Carlo Ratti. It is designed to work with Scribit Erasable Markers, but can work with any markers in the appropriate size range. Depending on the complexity of the drawing, the outlines of six lines of text can take up to 25 to 30 minutes, while a drawing of a flower or the outlines of a portrait can take less than five minutes.
The drawings aren’t permanent but if you use permanent markers they can be. You can use Scribit to draw on standard plaster, whiteboards, glass and most other smooth vertical surfaces. You can also upload your personal designs onto the Scribit app.
Scribit comes with four markers already included. For more information, visit kickstarter.com.
