news-hand painting innovation in dost roadshow-06192015

A young artist demonstrates how the Gx3 Garneth:The Original Hand Painting Multiplier Device operates during the Technology and Innovation Expo of the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) ongoing Science Nation Tour Central Visayas leg in Cebu City. An entry to the 2015 Central Visayas Regional Invention Contest and Exhibit, the device makes it possible for the artist to paint or draw multiple original figures simultaneously, making the technology ideal for businesses engaged in the creation of original handpainted products. It consists of multiple brush holders which help the artist to control his strokes so that they have identical movements. Gx3 Garneth was invented by Engr. Nono S. Camomot of Consolacion, Cebu and is one of several inventions currently on exhibit at Science Nation Tour which runs until June 20, 2015. For more about local inventions and DOST’s various technologies, visit the upcoming National Science and Technology Week from July 24-28, 2015 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
