Touch-sensitive – turns on the camera, LEDs to light the surface
Takes video when activated
Tablet stylus also in the brush – activates on a tablet surface to draw with the acquired texture
Brush connects to the tablet via a wire

8. Results Children enjoyed the exploration of textures and colors
Complaints regarding the connecting wire

9. Discussion Do you think that this is silly?
What other applications are there for this project other than amusement and learning for children?
How could this project be extended and improved?
Can we get one? 
