| | | |  | | | Capturing Colors with Your Pen
─Helen Yeh
Imagine having sixteen million pens of different colors to draw with. That would be a dream come true for many artists and doodlers, though carrying around that many pens would be unrealistic. Now, you can have all of those colors at your disposal with just a single pen.
The Scribble Pen is like a regular pen in that it comes with a nib that writes on paper. On the other end of the pen, however, there is a color sensor that picks up colors. Once the sensor detects a color, a small processor in the pen mixes the ink to match the exact color that was detected. The picked-up color can be that of almost anything, from a fruit to a shirt or a flower. Users can store colors in the pen's internal memory, which holds up to one hundred thousand unique colors.
This color-capturing pen is still in the process of being developed. However, its California-based creators think that people young and old will definitely love using it.
一枝筆彩繪全世界 想像一下你有一千六百萬枝不同顏色的筆可以畫畫。那對許多藝術家和塗鴉者來說是美夢成真，不過隨身攜帶那麼多筆並不切實際。現在你可以只帶一枝筆就能擁有那些所有的顏色任你使用。
「塗鴉筆」就像一般的筆，因為它具備可以在紙上書寫的筆尖。然而，在筆的另一端有一個能偵測顏色的顏色感應器。一旦感應器偵測到一種顏色，這枝筆裡的一個小型處理器會將墨水混合，使之與所偵測到的顏色精準無誤。偵測到的顏色幾乎可以是任何東西的顏色，從水果到襯衫或一朵花都可以。使用者可以將顏色儲存在筆的內建記憶體裡，記憶體可以儲存多達十萬種獨特的顏色。
這種可以捕捉顏色的筆還在開發階段。然而總部設在加州的開發者認為不分老少絕對都會愛用這枝筆。
