Vibrant Smart Markers

The 'COPiC SMART' Contains Endless Color Options in a Single Marker

— May 29, 2015 — Art & Design
The 'COPiC SMART' is a design for a revolutionary smart marker that would put a infinite range of colors into the palm of your hand. The concept was designed by 'Burov Art' and would allow users to access an endless array of colors through a single device rather than carrying around an entire set of colored markers.

The smart maker is intended to use technology similar to an ink printer, relying on replaceable cartridges of magenta, yellow and cyan. To begin coloring, users would simply select the shade they wish to use through a compatible smartphone app and then sync the devices. The clever technology would means that only one tool would be necessary for creating beautifully colorful artwork. Unfortunately the COPiC SMART is currently just a concept design, but it may soon be a reality as technology continues to update more traditional forms of art.
