One project that I find inspirational is Google’s Tilt Brush. I find it amazing that with all the technology of today, we are able to combine VR and fine arts in a new and innovative way. The project itself was developed by Skillman and Hackett, a rapid prototyping company in San Francisco. The project began in 2014 and since then it continually been in development. To the best of my knowledge, the creators of the product used preexisting headsets and handheld controllers, however the program was revamped and the two tracking sensors could allow you to paint or draw anywhere within the room.

The creators may have been inspired by artists and sculptors who bend the conventions of painting and 3D work. The future of the Tilt Brush, I believe, will be determined in what direction the users want the product to go in. As the technology improves, the Tilt Brush will become more responsive as well as lighter in physical form.
