The application is designed for motion interfaces in virtual reality but also works with keyboard and mouse.[1] Players can export their images as animated GIFs.[2]

Development

Google acquired Skillman & Hackett (and their program) in mid to late 2015.[3][4] Tilt Brush was released at the HTC Vive's launch on April 5, 2016, at no cost when pre-ordering the HTC Vive.[5][6]

On February 24, 2017, Tilt VR announced it is now available on both Oculus Rift and Vive.[7]

Reception

Ars Technica, referring to Tilt Brush as the HTC Vive's killer app,[8] praising the program's intuitive interface and the excitement of painting in three dimensions.[9] Edward Baig of USA Today said that the program was the only one that excited him in the platform's launch lineup.[10] Chris Suellentrop of The New York Times wrote that the program was better suited for beginners than more engineering-oriented experiences like Fantastic Contraption.[11]
