IdeaPaint Turns Any Surface Into A Whiteboard

Lifehacker AU

We all have our methods of organising ideas, be it low-tech in the form of sticky notes or some cutting-edge mobile app. There’s also the reliable whiteboard, which combines the simplicity of just writing your thoughts down with the ability to annihilate them just as quickly. Sure, you could buy a whiteboard and find a place for it, but what if you could transform the walls of an entire room — say your study or the office meeting room — into erasable drawing surfaces?

That’s about to change, with CR Kennedy taking on official Australian distributor duties.
