    @CustomFirmware: I'm guessing that it's cheaper to print an outline of something you see online (and probably better at complex designs) than buying some $99 piece of hardware and a bunch of sharpies. Or at the very least you'd feel like less of an idiot for buying something that could, y'know, print things like book reports, presentations, resumes, photos, etc... #scribblebot

    I cant see the video at work, but from what I can see, its definitely not useless.

    A printer can only print on paper. This could draw on any horizontal surface, to any scale you like.

    Perhaps not in the guise, but the tech would have many uses outside of simple drawings. It could be used to automatically paint the lines in a car park. Though I imagine such a solution already exists. #scribblebot

    This reminds me of that thing they used to sell (don't remember the name). You attach a pen or pencil to it, then trace an image with the other end (or something to that effect) and it would produce a duplicate 'drawing' on the pen/pencil end.

    The thing about drawing is that it's a series of incredibly fine, learned, and honed muscle movements paired with cognition. This thing could, I guess, teach you to draw... but it would only teach you to draw exactly like that, pen perpendicular to the page... very odd. #scribblebot

    @Gordonium: I didn't get anything from the actual video about it helping you learn to draw at all.

    It looks like just a fun easy kids toy.

    I imagine you'll be seeing it for real sooner rather then later. #scribblebot

    I guess the blind guy my Ex is going out with could use this to mark which clothes he was wearing when he saw his girl on the side, so he wouldn't get caught again. It's not like he can see if there's glitter on his pants, and my Ex did put on like 70lbs when she started going out with him.

    this is really cool! working in the pharmacy biz, it never really occurred to me that anyone could create prescription labels in braille. it's probably difficult because braille takes up more space than the small print, but this is an idea (lifehack?) that i'm surprised i've never heard of before.
