#iphone artists help solve#fat finger#problem CARNEGIE MELLON (US) Using the data amassed with an iphone drawing game,
researchers have built a tool that improves touchscreen art. The fingers of thousands of people who created sketches of Brad pitt
and Angelina jolie on their iphones can collectively guide and correct the drawing strokes of subsequent touchscreen users in an application created by researchers at Carnegie mellon University and Microsoft Research.
The app compensates for the at fingerproblem associated with touchscreens, automatically correcting a person drawing strokes
while preserving the user artistic style. ur goal was to make it invisible to the user, so people wouldn even be aware the correction is taking place,
says Alex Limpaecher, a Ph d. student in Carnegie mellon University computer science department. Adrien Treuille, associate professor of computer science and robotics, says the drawing assistance app is just one example of how Big data can be used to enhance drawing
and writing on touchscreens and even provide deep insights into art and perception. The trick has been to create drawing databases large enough to leveragen obstacle that he
