The name really says it all, WebCanvas is a canvas on the web. Basically anyone can direct their browser to the site, and draw, upload pictures, erase, or just search around their unending canvas.
“WebCanvas is a world-wide collaborative painting project. In this site anyone with a modern web-browser can move around an ‘infinite’ canvas. Using available painting tools is its also possible to draw and upload images. Furthermore it is possible to view other users painting if they happen to be painting within the same viewing area.”
Think of it like Web-Graffiti. You’ve got MSpaint-esque tools, an image uploader, and a wall that never ends. It’s a lot like spray painting and wheat pasting.
“This site is the evolution from our proof-of-concept, GraffyWall - This was the first WebSite to allow users to draw directly onto a boundless WebCanvas simply by using a web-browser. This introduced a new Web concept where users can instantaneously and directly create WebSites using the intuitive drawing paradigm just like pen and paper!”
Pretty neat concept, and it’s fun to browse around and see things developing in real time, right before they get rasterized and stuck on the wall. Also interesting is the whole obvious social aspect of the canvas, with peoples drawings, etc. all interacting. My only fear is the impending spam inherent in allowing image uploads.
