iPad: Painting your walls requires a commitment. You have to choose from thousands of colors, figure out how much you’ll actually need, spend hours doing the work, and hope it all turns out well. ColorSnap Studio takes some of the guesswork by digitally painting your walls and calculating what you’ll need to get the job done.

ColorSnap Studio comes with a variety of features, but digitally painting your walls makes the download worthwhile. Choose a color from the color selector, take a photo of the room you want to paint (or use an existing one), and paint the room with your finger. While you won’t get the most precise results with your finger and an iPad screen, ColorSnap Studio intelligently blends the paint color with the wall to show you what to expect should you actually do the job yourself. When you’ve committed to a color, the app can calculate how many cans of paint you’ll need based on a few simple measurements.

You can download ColorSnap Studio right now for your iPad. We’d like to see an Android tablet version and one that works on smartphone, but obviously a larger screen helps when digitally painting a wall.

You Probably Can’t Tell the Difference Between This and a Theater Projector [Video]

medium 6606237649d202b86cd0131d1c84b193 You Probably Cant Tell the Difference Between This and a Theater Projector [Video]Sony’s 4K projector was first announced last year, but they have the thing on display at CES this year. After getting to zone out in a pitch black room where the projector blasted the new Spider Man trailer at full resolution on a 182-inch screen, I’m sold on the idea.

What makes 4K exciting for the home is that it provides a sharp image for large display sizes. 1080p video is great on a 60-inch TV, but it’s not quite as amazing when you try to project a 100-inch image on a wall. But 4K is made for screens exceeding 100 inches. So how did it look? While watching the trailer, I swore I had just paid $75 for a movie ticket and a small popcorn.

Colors were rich and bright. Nothing was washed out. Small details, like wrinkles on people’s faces or textures on a building were sharply defined. I go watch movies because I love the large screen experience. If I had one of these things, I probably wouldn’t go to the movies anymore.
