NeoLucida

The NeoLucida is an optical drawing aid that lets you trace what you see. It's a modern reinterpretation of the camera lucida, a 19th-century tool popular with artists, scientists, and designers in the days before photography was invented. Launched in 2013 by two art professors who thought it might be interesting to revive old, obsolete art-related technologies, the NeoLucida Kickstarter campaign raised nearly $425,000 and was supported by 11,406 backers. Since then, the original NeoLucida, the 2017 NeoLucida XL, and the all-new NeoLucida Plus have helped tens of thousands of people draw.
