A system and method using two or more devices to create an augmented reality (AR) environment for efficiently scaling images onto large work surfaces (large canvas/walls/built environments) by superimposing a selected image onto the real-time capture of the work surface for one or more painters to draw with their preferred drawing apparatus. The system and method combine at least one camera device and at least one display device, but can combine multiple cameras and/or multiple displays allowing even larger work surfaces to be painted and allowing multiple painters to work side-by-side on different sections of the mural. The system and method further provide tools: to anchor the work surface, for step by step training, for image verification (comparison of ongoing work to the selected image), for breakdown mode (displaying layers filtered by color value or level of darkness), and for recording video of the muraling process.

Provided herein are apparatuses and methods for re-usably printable puzzles. A chalkboard-based puzzle apparatus comprises a base including an indented layer comprising a board having a plurality of indented spaces, wherein each indented space has a flat bottom surface comprising a printable chalkboard material for writing upon with chalk or a chalk-like writing implement, and a plurality of puzzle pieces, wherein each puzzle piece is sized and shaped to match one of the plurality of indented spaces, such that each puzzle piece fits into a respective indented space. In an embodiment the indented spaces are cutouts through to a printable layer. In another embodiment, the indented spaces are indentations with a bottom surface comprising a printable material. The chalkboard-based puzzle apparatus may include the chalk or chalk-like writing implement and may include an eraser or cloth.

The present disclosure is directed to a marker pixel wicking apparatus that allows a user to create dimensional pixelated art using a method of applying a colored ink marker directly onto the top white surface of a specifically designed substrate. The substrate has been molded specifically with an array of small vertical flat-topped cylinders covering nearly the entire surface.

A handwriting system including a teaching device and a practicing device is provided. The teaching device is communicatively connected to a network and displays a setup interface which includes a setup window for obtaining practice settings. These practice settings are then transmitted to the network. The practicing device is communicatively connected to the network and displays a user interface for obtaining handwriting information which is transmitted to the network. The practicing device receives an inspection result from the network and displays a feedback message according to the inspection result. A handwriting method and a non-transitory processing device-readable medium are also disclosed.
