Realism gets a shot in the arm with the Conceito PC, which is designed to be a kind of digital medium for artists: Its flexible LCD screen can be carried around outdoors, and the translucent display can be held up to an object or setting--whatever the artist wants to depict--to create the picture around and on top of the real thing. The screen display can be unrolled and fixed to the supporting stand using the pen as the lock. The base is an LED touch screen with a color palette, from which the pen stylus can obtain colors. The PC has a color sensing mechanism that gathers color from real objects.
