Is Microsoft revamping its Paint tool for Windows 10?

Microsoft is said to be currently revamping its famous paint tool for Windows 10. Twitter user WalkingCat discovered video demonstrations of the purported new paint tool being adapted to Windows 10. Paint Preview users can reportedly create 3D objects, and annotate them freely apart from using the same tools in previous paint versions. It is claimed that these 3D object support tools would ideally support the HoloLens.

Screenshots leaked in May suggested Microsoft had been revamping its Paint tool. However, these video demonstrations are the clearest indications of it yet.

Microsoft appears to be making Paint pen and touch friendly, with an interface that mixes 3D models, 2D images, stickers and community tools for 3D content. Seems like the new tools can be employed to use, manipulate and customise objects within a scene with greater ease.

Separately, Microsoft will be organising a special event in New York later this month. The timing of these videos hints at what Microsoft might be up to. Microsoft is also expected to unveil an all-in-one personal computer on the occasion.



Rumors suggest that the widely awaited HoloLens along with the eagerly-anticipated Xbox Project Scorpio game console might also feature at the event.
