TUI: Blurring Boundaries in Art and Beyond [PART II]

I wrote a post a while back about blurring boundaries in art. It referred to the interesting ways digital realities can mimic and use visual analogies to represent art concepts (i.e. splattering paint from a phone to a tablet mimicking splatter paint from a brush to a surface). However, I would like to feature a technology that take traditional artworks directly into the digital world.

This is not completely new! There are already technologies like LiveScribe. (Totally TUI: their motto is turn words into action, physical into digital action and versatility)

However, the Moleskin Smart Notebook is just a more fun!

It smartly uses a hugely popular existing software and a huge popular art brand. It takes advantage of the product semantics (what users already use and appreciate in / associate with these products). It doesn't require you to change any habits. It takes what the user already does, and augments. I would buy it...but it is already out of stock. No wonder why!
