Overview
Watercolor Wall allows people to explore a sensational rainbow of colors with a simple touch. Visitors can paint the wall by pressing their fingers to the silver discs or glowing objects on the surface. By holding their hands on these sensor points they can set areas of the wall to different colors along a continuously variable spectrum. Colors leak between regions in the way that watercolor paint blends on paper, turning each visitor into an artist. There are countless variations for different colors, sizes, and patterns which makes Watercolor Wall an ideal interactive object for any space or environment. The standard design includes discs as touch-points, but these can be customized with unique designs.
