MIT-developed software turning sketches into interactive systems
Sony‘s recent revelation of having PlayStation 3 owners create games using their own drawings is really interesting and something new for gamers. However, it seems that the company is not alone in developing the technology behind this.
An engineer over at MIT has just come up with a software that just exactly that – turn sketches into interactive mechanical systems. Watch a demo video of the MIT engineer right after the jump!
We learned the other day that the video game industry may be on the brink of another form of advancement in terms of producing video games. One of Sony‘s senior researcher has revealed plans to have games based on user-drawn content.
While the technology is not at all new (it has already been used with Nintendo DS game Drawn to Life), maximizing its full potentials is where the trick lies. And it seems that Sony is not at all alone in pursuing this path.
The video clip below shows an MIT engineer hailing from Fullerton, California who has developed a software which converts sketches into interactive mechanical systems.
