As part of his
MIX10 keynote presentation
Bill Buxton showed off
Project Gustav - an immersive digital painting experience created by Microsoft Research - as an example of natural user interface.
Previously covered on Channel 9 as part of the TechFest 2010 coverage we invited the Project Gustav guys back into the studio for a deeper dive into what they've built, why they chose to build it and what makes this experience so different from other tablet-based painting applications.
More on Project Gustav: Project Gustav is a realistic painting-system prototype that enables artists to become immersed in the digital painting experience. It achieves interactivity and realism by leveraging the computing power of modern GPUs, taking full advantage of multitouch and tablet input technology and our novel natural media-modeling and brush-simulation algorithms. Project Gustav is a great example of how Microsoft's research efforts are leading to exciting new technologies to support creativity.

I'm not an artist, but this looks quite impressive and fun to use.
Very impressive demo. For the first time, it looks like I could really "paint" using a pc. I have used most all programs and tablets.
As a designer and artist, may I be involved in the development/testing of this application?
Thank you for considering it.

Will we ever be able to get it in our hands?
ı am not an artist!!!
This looks fantastic. I just hope Microsoft will make this available to the public some day.
Beautiful. It would make a lovely core to a "Expression Paint" product. I'm just saying, the bitmap tools in 'Design are rather basic...
What kind of hardware/tablet is used?
I am an artist and I'm intrigued by Project Gustav, but what's the quality like when printing? Even if you're printing on canvas, the end product isn't going to be anything like an original oil painting. I'm also curious to the color mixing ability. I'd love to test this. I'm located in Seattle.
I am an amateur artist. Currently I am trying out ArtRage, but I too am really intrigued and amazed by Gustav. Can we somehow/anyhow have a preview version of this for testing, till you guys come up with the actual product?
Great Job!
I hope some day you create a calligraphy pen that responds just like a real calligraphy pen. I blogged about this video on my calligraphy artwork site:
