Product Design student Andrew Little created the Connect A Sketch, a networked version of the ever-popular Etch A Sketch mechanical drawing toy:
We all love to leave personal messages for one another, be it productive or playful, Connect A Sketch was designed to take this interaction to a larger scale. The reason I chose to do this through an Etch A Sketch is because of my appreciation of the toy I grew up with.
As demonstrated in this video, two Connect A Sketches are connected to each other over the internet, allowing you to simultaneously co-doodle across the globe. Andrew’s creation will be officially unveiled at the 2011 Dundee Degree Show and the New Designers Exhibition in London.

I love that the creator didn’t take the short-cut of simply putting a screen in there. This is the real deal.
How about two pots connected to a USB port (of course I mean through a chip to convert the analog to digital)
and then use a window on the PC (or browser)? Less hardware…
Or even use the up/down left/right arrows on the keyboard…
