Wiispray Makes Virtual Graffiti

Have you ever thought, "Man, I wish I could be hip and graffiti walls, but not have to deal with cops chasing me after I do it?" Well Martin Lihs, a student at Bauhaus University in Germany, has come up with the perfect solution for you. I present to you: Wiispray.

Martin has modded a Wiimote to look just like a spray can, and surprisingly made it work like one, too. Created for his thesis project, Wiispray allows users to paint digitally.

The custom Wiimote enclosure is the first tagging simulator from Interactive Art and many are hoping that the next step is something that will go into production.

After plugging the Wiimote into the virtual spray can, users can "spray" onto a projected surface, change colors, choose and manipulate stencils, and even save their work to a server for further editing at the time and place of the user's choice. Let's see you try that with a wall. Check out the video below for a demonstration!
