Earlier quoted context omitted.

It still feels better to mix and apply real paint to a physical surface with an actual brush held in one's hand. More time spent lashed to an electronic apparatus feels less like relaxation these days.

I think you missed their point, they were talking about doing work as an architect designing buildings, not relaxation

or a new user confusing 'reply' with 'add comment'.

This will be a landmark app, in that it looks to be one of the most flushed out stabs at vr painting. It defines a number of UI/UX components and philosophies all using direct manipulation (with what looks like an Adobe-flow), plus a number of original 3D-specific tools.

Congrats to the team at Google

Not exactly the same thing but I've actually been sitting on an idea for a mobile app that was inspired by Google: Essentially, you'd be able to look through your phone camera and draw on the world on the screen. Then other people could see your geolocated creations and maybe modify them. (I also considered autodecay for dense areas) I never did figure out the physics of how the projection would work or if the accura…

String did "virtual graffiti" in 3d in 2011! https://vimeo.com/15935674

When I last explored this idea, "stickers" are necessary since most surfaces in real life are generic "textures", so there's no way to know which section of a wall you're looking at if you're too close to it.

I really hope Google puts aside their differences with Microsoft and tries to get a demo of this running on Hololens. I think it would be SO much cooler to be able to walk around someone's cool 3D art piece using AR rather than VR.

Hololens has a tremendously small FOV and everything it projects is translucent. Not exactly a great medium for viewing art.

A little meta comment and I apologize for bikeshedding but it seems https works fine here. Can we replace the link in the title with https://www.tiltbrush.com/ Thank you!

I posted this link but I don't see any option to edit the URL now.

If you don't have a HTC Vive. Then try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.openframewo...

This appears to be a blatant ripoff of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.openframewo... - they didn't even change the app ID to refer to something other than the original developer's domain.
