Want a drawing of your face with perfect precision: An Israeli company has developed a projector that will allow your children to draw accurately and perfectly.
The projector, called Followgrams, a play on words between "follow" and "holograms," is a desktop projector. You place a sheet of paper under it and it projects an image onto it, so you can trace over its lines with pencils or any other writing or drawing tool.
After printing the page, you can get a perfect work of art that will in no way resemble the drawings you remember from your time in kindergarten.
The projector was developed by an Israeli company called FlyCatcher, which designed it to look and cost like a toy.
During a visit to the NEXTER system, Shahar Limor and Tal Zilberman, from the company, explained that they had been working on the projector for about a year.
They developed a special lens for the projector, adapted to the short-range focus required by its height above the table - 20 cm - as well as a special format for the images, which allows the projector to display them gradually, shape by shape, to allow children to concentrate on drawing a part of the complete image each time - so that they learn the drawing pattern.
