'etcher' is an 'etch a sketch® for the iPad' developed by california-based peripheral and app design company ari krupnik & associates. the system comprises a special case for the iPad, as well as an 'etch a sketch®' application. featuring a closing door for complete enclosure, the case is modeled after the original childhood toy, featuring two knobs that control the appearance of lines onscreen. also like the original, the screen erases itself when shaken. because of the digital nature of the images, however, 'etcher' also includes saving and sharing functionality for drawings, including posting the files instantly to facebook or flickr. it also automatically records timelapses of drawings created, offering users the option of saving or uploading this video. licensed by ohio art company, owners of the 'etch a sketch®' trademark, the project is currently seeking funding on kickstarter, with devices expected to be in production in october 2012 if funding is met. the price is planned to be approximately 60 USD.
