And then, when I asked my perpetual question of &#8220;What are the other fingers doing?,&#8221; Diego had this brilliant idea: the number of fingers you&#8217;re using determines the brush size. Index finger for the marker; index and middle for a small spray nozzle; index, middle, and ring for a medium spray; and all four fingers for the biggest spray&#8212;what you&#8217;d use to fill. That&#8217;s a pretty intuitive mapping. We wouldn&#8217;t need to track motion on all the fingers, just whether they&#8217;re flexed or not. And we could use an accelerometer to register wrist tilts, somewhat like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A9DBlolfZd4\">Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Scroll<\/a>, to cycle through the color palette.<\/p>\n<p>The thumb would remain an on\/off switch.<\/p>\n<p>We could have different backgrounds to paint on, like brick walls, subway cars, trucks.<\/p>\n<p>Bitchen.<\/p>\n<p>This idea is, in fact, so cool that it has <a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videosearch?q=virtual+graffiti&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;oe=utf-8&#038;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&#038;client=firefox-a&#038;um=1&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=video_result_group&#038;resnum=10&#038;ct=title#\">already<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/wiispray-prototype-graffiti-controller-for-wii-0611925\/\">been<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/graffiti.playdo.com\/\">done<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Developing . . .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:smaller\">Photo: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rubberdreamfeet\/347009229\/\">ASBO<\/a> by rubberdreamfeet  \/ David Hayward. <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/deed.en\">Some rights reserved.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So then . . .
