Visual Design, Interaction Design, and Tangible Media

Blind contour drawing is an exercise in which one draws what one sees without looking at the drawing itself as one constructs it. This is a very mechanical process, involving a connection among one's eyes, brain, hand, and pen. This software, called Blind, looks at how this process might work in the context of a computer. Blind performs edge detection on an input image, such as a photograph, and draws a single line through areas of contrast.
