Those who rely on cooperation between their brains and their technology, i.e., architects, designers, artists, will find this new toy deliciously intriguing. ETOS, acronym for Electronical Tool for Object Sketching, “combines a digital drawing board with a novel tool of interaction.” Using a variety of pens on its integrated screen, the user can create 3D digital images, easily edited along both vertical and horizontal axes. ETOS designer Daniel Kussmaul is a clever guy, responsible for the design of the BooX Bookscanner—an inventive scanner whose triangular profile means book spines are saved from the pressure of lying flat—to the BarCode Jukebox, for which he was nominated for the 2008 “Lights of the Future” award.
