Turn children’s drawings into animated characters they can see, touch, and explore on a large interactive wall. Alive Sketch combines drawing, coloring, scanning, projection, and interactive play in one creative experience. Children color a template or create their own picture, scan it, and watch their artwork appear within a digital world within seconds. Designed for schools, preschools, libraries, museums, therapy centers, and entertainment venues, Alive Sketch connects creativity with movement, storytelling, visual feedback, and group participation.

How Art Comes Alive

Children color or draw pictures, scan them, and see them appear on the interactive wall within seconds. The digital characters retain the colors and details of the original artwork, move inside a themed environment, and respond to touch.

Alive Sketch uses a scanner, specialized software, a computer, projection equipment, and interactive touch technology to transform a paper picture into an animated character.

1. Choose a Template or Create a Drawing

Children select a printable character template or use the free-drawing option. Available themes may include animals, dinosaurs, vehicles, underwater creatures, and fantasy characters.

2. Color and Personalize the Picture

Each participant chooses colors, patterns, and visual details. Teachers and therapists can connect the task with a lesson, story, communication exercise, or creative activity.

3. Scan the Artwork

The completed picture is placed in the scanner. The software recognizes the character and transfers its colors and details into the selected digital world.

4. Watch the Drawing Come Alive

The animated character appears on the interactive wall within seconds. Children can immediately recognize the colors and details from their original artwork.

5. Interact with the Character

Children can touch the projected character with their hands or use the included interaction sticks. Depending on the selected game, the character can move, react, or perform additional actions.

This drawing-to-life experience turns a familiar coloring activity into active digital play.

Alive Sketch technology operates through a combination of a Full HD projector mounted on the ceiling, which delivers high-quality images onto the wall, and a scanner that brings drawings to life.

The projector casts a specific background onto the wall while children draw animals on special templates. Then, the color image is scanned through a desktop scanner and appears on the projection as a live model. Children can interact with it by touching the animals on the projection with sticks (5 included with the initial purchase) or their hands.

A vibrant laser projector with a laser touch sensor tracker requires no installation. It can be easily moved from room to room.

To provide a quality projection of up to 155 inches, it only needs to be placed 5 inches away from the wall. Additionally, the projector’s casing is made of steel! The device functions together with equipment for creating live drawings. The kit includes dozens of template coloring pages that can be brought to life with the scanner. All animal drawings, once scanned, appear on the screen as active models. They can perform additional movements when interacted with on the interactive wall. This set is perfect for hosting fun, educational, and sports games.

Compare Models

Alive Sketch is available in stationary and mobile configurations. The right model depends on the room, installation requirements, projection size, ambient lighting, expected use, and whether the equipment needs to move between spaces.

Every configuration combines the equipment and software required to turn paper drawings into interactive animation. Available models differ in projector brightness, mounting method, mobility, image size, warranty, and recommended setting.

Meet the A-list of Games and Activities

Are you ready for a creative game-changer? Alive Sketch includes a growing collection of themed games and activities that combine drawing, animation, movement, storytelling, and learning.

Children can create characters for different projected worlds, including experiences built around:

  • Underwater environments
  • Dinosaurs
  • Animals
  • Vehicles
  • Fantasy scenes
  • Sports activities
  • Educational themes

Several children can add their characters to the same projected world. This allows an individual drawing task to become a shared activity involving communication, observation, imaginative play, and collaborative storytelling.

The system currently includes 17 games. Eligible software updates and new game releases are provided without a mandatory recurring subscription.

Organizations can also discuss the development of a custom environment for a lesson, exhibition, branded venue, community project, or seasonal event.

Why Alive Sketch?

Express Your Creativity

Alive Sketch gives children the opportunity to design, color, and animate their own drawings inside an immersive environment. Each participant contributes an individual character rather than simply watching pre-made digital content.

Build Confidence Through Creation

Children can see their own artistic choices displayed on a large wall and shared with classmates, teachers, family members, or other visitors. Presenting and describing their creations can help make the activity feel personally meaningful.

Inclusive and Accessible

The simple sequence — draw, scan, watch, and interact — is easy to explain and can be adapted for participants with different abilities, communication styles, and levels of support.

Explore Fascinating Themes

Educators and facilitators can select digital environments that complement a lesson, event, exhibition, or creative activity. Children might explore an underwater world, dinosaur land, an animal habitat, or an imaginative setting.

Connect Physical and Digital Creativity

Alive Sketch preserves the familiar tactile experience of drawing on paper while adding animation, projection, sound, and interactive touch.

Encourage Group Participation

Several children can contribute characters to one projected environment, creating opportunities for shared attention, communication, turn-taking, and collaborative storytelling.

The same system can support teacher-led lessons, open-ended creative play, therapy activities, museum programs, library events, and entertainment experiences.
