Google has recently released an amazing new product. This product allows you to paint in 3D using virtual reality. They call it the Tilt Brush. This technology allows you to create straight from your imagination, as well as walk around your creations, as if you were sculpting them out of paint.

How Does it Work?

Here is a commercial that showcases some of the features:

Here is a more in depth video with user testimonial:

According to their website, using this software is as simple as downloading it and running the program. This software is run using the HTC Vive and Steam. The HTC Vive is a Virtual Reality (VR) device that is a combination of a headset/goggles and two single-handed controllers. These combined with Steam, to use the software, allow you to walk among your creations and use the whole VR world as your canvas. It allows for a unique combination of sculpting and painting, all using technology.

Where Can Your Learn More About Tilt Brush?

You can learn more about them on their website. On their site they have many videos and testimonials about how their software works. They also show how it integrates into the HTC Vive and how Steam is involved.

Comments and Opinions

The Tilt Brush is an awesome new piece of software. Since video games are one of the leading developers of VR right now, it is important that we pull some other industries into the fold, like visual art. This is a really cool piece of software that will allow you to essentially sculpt with paint while not having to make a mess in real life. The next thing to do, in my mind, is to incorporate some way of bringing your creations from the Tilt Brush, out of virtual reality and into actual reality. This could be done using 3D printing or some other similar device that has yet to be created. Our world is constantly advancing and becoming more technologically advanced, and it is amazing.
