Virtual Pen and Ink Lets Kids Scrawl on Walls

The KLEXL is a concept Interactive Painting machine from designer Dario Jandrijic. It tricks your kids into thinking that they are scrawling their childish rubbish onto your pristine walls, and cleanup is as easy as flicking an off-switch.
I was never allowed to draw on the walls as a kid, which was never a problem as my dad always seemed to liberate enough office stationery to keep me occupied. A friend of mine had more liberal parents, though, and his bedroom ended up painted black and with the legend ?Alien Sex Fiend? on one wall. Try covering that up when you move out.
The KLEXL is a smart projector. It has an auto-focus lens which shows the actual images, and these are painted onto the wallpaper with LED-tipped pens which are detected by an infra-red tracking camera back on the base unit. To change colors, the kids just tap the pen onto a color wheel on top of the projector.
It seems perfect, letting the kids be as messy as they like without actually causing any real mess. I can see only two downsides: you?ll be training your children to write on walls, and this could go very wrong when you visit a friend who has real pens lying around. Second, you can?t put any of your offspring?s awful, lame attempts at art on the front of the refrigerator. Actually, maybe that?s a feature?
