Mental Canvas offers a graphical-media-design system that sits between 2D draw-and-paint tools and 3D CAD, enabling users to sketch with spatial strokes, navigate in 3-D and create free-form animations. The core technology was developed at Yale by a research team led by founder and chief scientist Julie Dorsey. The company is building partnerships with major design, advertising and media firms, as well as publishers and tablet manufacturers. Mental Canvas plans to use the funding to continue expanding operations and its business reach. The article frames the product as a reimagined sketching medium that combines the ease of pencil-and-paper drawing with expansive 3D capabilities. No operating metrics or prior financing details are provided in the article.
