A software tool for tablet computers can transform sketched web pages into 
real ones and hand-drawn code into real programs.

The tool, known as InkKit, was created to provide a smooth transition 
between early sketches and more polished designs. It lets designers sketch a 
webpage, for example, on a tablet computer using a stylus. Providing they 
follow a set of basic rules, it can then transform this sketch into a neater 
version with interactive features.

"Electronic tools are great for the later stages of design, but they 
restrict your ideas at early stages," says Beryl Plimmer at the University 
of Auckland in New Zealand. "People usually use paper when generating ideas 
and then have to transcribe them onto a computer when they are more fixed."
