Mental Canvas is a new app that tries to erase the gap between 2D and 3D

The algorithms and those smart apps that are wandering around from the most important companies, are achieving that with a little talent and artistic knowledge, it is possible to make small creative pieces of great design. Surely we are not even at the beginning of a new way of understanding artistic productivity in which the idea will be the most important thing.

The arrival of the iMac rival, the Surface Studio, has led to the emergence of a new tool or application from the software company Mental Canvas. This is one graphics design tool and media that allows the artist to draw in 3D.

The foundation for this technology has been developed by a research team at Yale, led by the company's founder and a computer science professor, Julie Dorsey, Mental Canvas is the first app of its kind that allows creatives the opportunity to realize their ideas freely in a virtual space without compromising their individuality or style.

Mental Canvas allows you to hand drawn sketches through the app to make it an interactive experience and an animated scene that users can manipulate and edit intuitively. Basically, if you can imagine and sketch a concept, it can be brought to life virtually with Mental Canvas.

Julie Dorsey states:

Technology has revolutionized text, photography and music, but drawing has hardly remained unchanged since the Renaissance by simulating illustration tools what it would be like to draw on paper. Mental Canvas reimagines the sketch and brings it into the digital age with a new set of capabilities to speed up the creative process and enhance the idea of ​​sharing.

The possibilities offered by Mental Canvas is a brilliant example of how hardware and software they can go one step further in the potential of drawing tools. Mental Canvas is expected to be released at the end of the year, so it can make a nice gift for Christmas.
