Seeing a talk of his years ago, in which he showed how he\u2019d build custom interfaces in Flash that let other artists customize images &amp; animation, sent me on a years-long inquiry into what could happen if <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/2010\/06\/feedback_please_html5_layers_in_photoshop.html\">Flash or HTML were a layer type<\/a> in Adobe apps. The point is, he tends to open eyes &amp; get juices flowing.<\/p>\n<p>Thus I\u2019m excited to see Erik &amp; co. working on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/conversations\/2016\/11\/project-dali-building-an-endless-creative-canvas-with-virtual-reality.html\">Project Dali<\/a>\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dhRqRLU2vwA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Erik writes,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t think of Project Dali as digital or analog. It\u2019s something that mixes the two and comes out completely unique. It could incorporate texture (think of the exquisite feel of graphite) and time (your paint is drying) with the unending flexibility of digital. It takes art that used to feel static and lets us manipulate it in three-dimensional space. In the process, the art becomes different, magical.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m starting to think about it like a musical instrument: If you are a musician, your instrument enables your creativity; it doesn\u2019t stand between you and the idea in your head. And just like with VR, you learn by playing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I can\u2019t wait to take it for a spin &amp; see how it evolves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Dali.jpg\" alt=\"dali\" width=\"600\" height=\"530\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Dali.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Dali-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Dali-768x679.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Dali-1024x905.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dhRqRLU2vwA\">YouTube<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhy doesn\u2019t designing feel like dancing?\u201d I used to ask Photoshop teammates.
