Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce an application called “Kcanvas”. It is based on the belief that one´s thought consist of fragments of knowledge that might be beautiful and enhance one´s creativity if they are visualized. Kcanvas provides a canvas as an intuitive and playful interface so that a user can casually collage what he/she is interested in in his/her daily life and others can also enjoy exploring this canvas as a visual art work. We introduce canvases on ”Kcanvas” and discuss the possibility of the application.
