Photo Sprayer is a virtual painting tool for creation of digital art in virtual reality (VR) by using images of the real-world surrounding as its painting palette. The users can capture images of local sights, objects, faces or random details and turn them into colors and patterns for their digital artwork on 2D surfaces and 3D objects in VR. The application is conceptualized as a playful approach to the predominance of contemporary digital imagery, symbolically empowering the user to emancipate from the image dominance. It was developed for simple use by anyone interested in digital art, enabling a wide array of people to assume the role of an artist. The projection of the real-time painting process allows the observers to continuously follow the progress, while they become part of the artwork though their presence captured in the images.
