The newest technology from HP is taking a hands on approach. Literally.

I've always been a sketch pad and pencil kind of creative. Being able to stick, smudge, smear, apply and create things with my hands is more of a sense and feel thing. In todays age we are able to do these things with the endless amounts of programs offered to us. Virtually anything is possible. But amongst all this technology I think we have lost the sense and feel of creating things the good old fashioned way. With our hands.

Hp just recently introduced the Sprout, which is a multitude of technology and hands on application. The Hp Sprout is a desktop computer with a projector that scans physical items, turns them digital in a few seconds and allows you to manipulate the images using your fingers. In a nutshell It's a blend of what we already know — the standard computer, letting you check email, surf the web, write documents and so on — with a touch of the future, particularly in the form of having a "touch mat" instead of a traditional keyboard and the ability to instantly make 3D objects into scans. 

The concept is targeted mostly toward artists, designers, architects and publishers. Creative types who want to blend the physical and virtual world will find the platform extremely useful. And because the platform is collaborative, it makes working with remote colleagues significantly easier.

Sprout's flagship feature is the ability to turn 3D objects into scans that appear on your screen seconds later, letting you morph them any way you'd like. And you can share your workspace with colleagues too, so they can add to what you're working on, even if they're not in the same room.

I'm not much of a PC fan but I really think that Hp has outdone themselves with this. I'm actually very excited to experience what it has to offer and of course to actually get my hands on one.
