A small robot arm that draws with a pen on paper anything you draw on screen. Sketch, share and subscribe to wonderful drawings!

Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Web | PressKit Hi Everyone, We’ve been completely amazed by the interest in Line-us. A huge thank you to everyone who has backed us, asked questions, Tweeted, Instagrammed, Facebooked or just taken the time to look at our page. We set out to raise funds to produce the first batch and we’ve achieved that goal much faster than we could have possibly imagined. Now we want to focus on getting the first 1,000 Line-us machines produced. This might seem odd given how much interest there is. We will be making more machines after the first batch has been produced, shipped, and we see how people use them. We’re really sorry if you didn’t manage to get a machine, but please sign up to our mailing list at www.line-us.com so we can keep you up-to-date when more will be available. However… we do have another reward or two up our sleeve; not a machine but other things that are pretty good. We’ll be adding the first of those in the next few days, so please stay tuned. If you are on our mailing list you will hear before they go live on Kickstarter and if you’re not, sign up now at www.line-us.com Line-us is a small internet connected robot drawing arm – it mimics your motion with a pen and recreates whatever you draw on screen. Draw with your finger, mouse, stylus or Apple Pencil and follow it in real time as it copies your movements. Save and share your drawing to start communicating with other Line-us machines! Line-us: The little robot arm It's not a plotter nor a printer, it's a draw-er, which gives Line-us its own style and unique character. The magic bit is that Line-us draws in exactly the same order you did. Just connect it to a USB battery or power supply and you are ready to go. Line-us comes with a small metal plate to hold it in place. You can use it on any writable surface: in your sketchbook, diary, notebook or just a piece of paper. You can also hang it to the wall or mount it on a fridge A community of users What can I do with Line-us? We can only guess – it's up to you! We believe Line-us becomes magical when it connects to the internet and talks to the community of other machines. We want to find out what you will do with it: Enjoy collecting other people's drawings. Use it to send messages... and receive them. Play games with friends Be inventive and experiment! If you're in to coding, Line-us has an easy interface to talk to Scratch, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Python and Processing. It can talk to another language too. Line-us the app The app is how you interact with your own Line-us and see what people have shared with you. It lets you create, save and share drawings; then draw them again and again and again… Line-us works on iPads, iPhones and Android. It also works on Mac and PC. You can draw or write with your finger, a stylus, Wacom tablets or the Apple Pencil. It's all up to you. We have designed the app with features that make it fun for anyone to draw, share and follow other people's creations. Here are some of them: This is your canvas. Draw anything you want! Access your device's camera and trace over a photo. Erase some of the drawing by going back in time The app is organised in to four areas: Draw - Sketchbook - Share - Published REWARDS! We need your support to make the first 1000 Line-us machines. In return you will get great rewards and be part of the first community of users. The pilot project – for the first 1000 backers Calling for illustrators, doodlers, artists, hackers and makers! We have been working hard for the last eight months developing Line-us and we’ve had a lot of fun playing with it. We feel like Line-us is a living prototype, which is why we need to develop it further. Having many years of experience in industrial design, tech products and software development we know that feedback is crucial for any product to be truly amazing and fully functioning. This is also the case for Line-us. We have done a lot of work already but want an inspiring community of illustrators, doodlers, hackers and makers to make Line-us even better. And this is where you come in!
