Sprout has dual interactive screens - a vertical touch screen display positioned in-line above a horizontal ‘TouchMat’ display, and also down-facing imaging sensors. The "Sprout Illuminator" serves as a projector, camera, depth sensor and scanner, and projects an image, for example a virtual keyboard, on the TouchMat.[4] For additional input, Sprout includes an Adonit stylus, as well as a Bluetooth-powered set of keyboard and mouse. This enables users to interact with physical and digital content while working.[5] Content can be digitally captured and manipulated in 2D or 3D directly on the TouchMat interface.[5] HP claims that this greatly simplifies and streamlines the creative process.
