Google launches Tilt Brush app for virtual reality sketching

Google 's virtual reality painting app, Tilt Brush, could allow architects and designers to walk through their sketches in 3D as they draw them Available on the HTC Vive headset device, Tilt Brush allows users to create 3D imagery using a simple controller that mimics the gestures of painting.

Various brushes and colours are selected from a virtual "palette", and users can walk through and around their creations as they work. While the technology's full range of applications will emerge in time, early reports have focused on the app's accessibility and appeal outside the gamer market, which has traditionally dominated virtual reality development. Tilt Brush, at its core, is a virtual reality painting application. It creates something anyone can use, intuitively, for kids, artists, and absolutely anyone," the app's co-developer Drew Skillman told Fast Company . Within the first 30 or 45 seconds, anyone can start VR painting and making marks in space all around them... It allows everyone to see how powerful VR is and how transformative it will be."
