Step into your paintings with Google's Tilt Brush

With each passing day, we are taking bigger steps in virtual reality. We already have Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift and countless VR headsets in the market that enable an immersive experience. However, Google’s latest offering is among the coolest. The Google Tilt Brush software helps create 3D art in a room-size virtual space. Tilt Brush probably is creativity at its best. A painter can move around and create art of any kind in the virtual space, change the colour palette, texture, draw suns and stars or water or fire. The console that enables all this is the HTC Vive. The VR simulator comes with a headset, two wireless controllers and two base stations. The wireless controllers become the brush and palette for Tilt Brush and then the possibilities are endless. One can set up HTC Vive console, install the games and applications platform Steam and launch Tilt Brush. With Tilt Brush we can build our own castle and walk into it, we can design our own dresses; design cars and sit in them. It will enable creators to give producers a better idea of what they have in mind. Tilt Brush’s creators are Drew Skillman and Patrick Hackett. Google acquired Skillman & Hackett in 2015. We do have another virtual reality tool known as Oculus Quill, created by the Oculus Story Studio. Oculus is also working on Medium, yet another virtual painting tool.   News Credit: The Hindu
