It was supposed to work as a stylus too, turning your computer into a touchscreen. Too good to be true, right? Well, that\u2019s exactly the case, as the site has not been updated for a long time and there seems to be no news\u2026.doesn\u2019t look good but we really do hope the investors get their money\u2019s worth sometime soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impressive Impressions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two impressionists or rather would be impressionists needed some money to bankroll some special effects required for their act, they put their project on Kickstarter.
