Tired of being chased down by the cops in the middle of throwing up a proper burner on a terribly drab wall? Martin Lihs’s Wii Spray project may be the perfect answer.
Developed using Adobe Flash, artists can chooses colors, caps, and stencils for their piece and spray away on your digital canvas. No respirator and more importantly, no cops. The demonstration video uses the Wii platform, but since it was developed in Flash, it can probably be adapted for any similar physical interface system.
Unfortunately, to get the full effect, you’ll either need a gigantic screen or a projector. Although, if you have some friends working in IT on a college campus, you can probably snag a lecture hall with a gigantic projector and just spray away. There’s no commercial release of Wii Spray just yet, but I bet they would make a killing once it’s monetized.

Ok, now that is the coolest tech thing I’ve seen in a LONG time. I want a Wii anyways, but I can see myself losing sleep on this nightly. if they released it for Wii, i suppose it would then be worth it to get a projector anyways
Just imagine doing this against the side of a building at night. You’d get the wall’s natural texture with the projected spray paint on it. You can set up a fairly nice photo portfolio of graf work and not spray one drop of paint.. or have a police record for that matter.

Yeah man, that would be absolutely amazing! I really hope this gets out to market in some form soon.
