Basically blow up the small drawing/detail motions of the DS to realistic painting techniques (angle changes of the brush, pressure, etc) that could be used on the TV as a tapestry. I'm not familiar with the calibration processes of the Wii, but the potential should be there to transform nearly any surface into your canvas, preferably something with visual feedback from the system (rear projection, plasma..). The Wii/TV would become like a Intuos LCD pad of canvas size. With all the possibilities of the net embracing next gen and potential collaboration with Wii engineers, imaging drawing your own GUI/dashboard, sending them to friends…hey, is Nintendo already making this?

You might want to check it out.

I really love the idea of procedurally judging the player’s works of art. Best idea so far! I really love the idea of procedurally judging the player’s works of art.
