Not that new, but cool nonetheless, this I/O Brush lets you take textures, colors, and even movements found in the world and use it to paint. Sound confusing? Well, textures and colors are pretty straightforward. You take the brush and point it at say, a watermelon, and when you paint with the brush the watermelon texture is your brush-stroke.

Movements are what make this interesting. Point the brush for a few seconds at a person's eye blinking and when you paint, you replicate that same movie clip as you're moving the brush around. That eye example actually turns to be quite creepy looking. Watch the video to see for yourself. – Jason Chen
