6 brush types
Marker, neon glow, velocity-sensitive ink, gradient, fire/sparkle, and mono. Each one feels distinctly different. Each one looks great on camera.
Undo · Erase · Clear
Made a mistake? Undo the last stroke, erase specific parts with a gesture, or wipe the canvas and start fresh.
Full-res PNG photos
One click. Full 1280×720 lossless PNG with your drawing composited perfectly on the live video frame.
The beginning of AirVa OS
Apple Vision Pro costs $3,500. Meta Quest costs $500. AirVa runs on any laptop with a webcam — which is every laptop ever made. The gestures you use to draw already open menus, switch modes, and navigate panels in mid-air. That's not a drawing tool — it's the interaction layer of a spatial operating system, and you're already speaking its language. Drawing is just the first layer of many.
Edge extrapolation
Draw all the way to the frame edges. AirVa predicts and continues your stroke even when your hand moves outside the camera view. No more cutting off letters.
Landscape & portrait
Choose 16:9 landscape for YouTube and presentations, or 9:16 portrait for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Both modes record at full resolution.
Gesture system

Your hands are
the interface.

Pinch to Draw
Bring your thumb and index finger together. Draw anything. Open to stop — no buttons, no modes, no clicking.
✌️ 2-finger pinch
Click to expand
Zoom In & Out
Pinch thumb and middle finger, keep index pointing up. Move your hand up to zoom in, down to zoom out. Smooth, precise, instant.
🔍 thumb + middle, index up
Click to expand
Pan the Canvas
Three-finger pinch — thumb, index, and middle together. Move your hand to scroll across the infinite canvas in any direction.
✋ 3-finger pinch + move
Click to expand
Star Pointer
Extend only your index finger. A glowing star trail follows your fingertip — perfect for pointing, highlighting, or just looking cool on camera.
☝️ index only extended
Click to expand
Eraser Pinch
Extend index and middle fingers together and hold. AirVa switches between draw and erase mode. No toolbar, no mouse — pure gesture.
✌️ two fingers + hold
Click to expand
Mode Switch
Extend your index and middle fingers — Switches between Draw and Erase mode. Holding the gesture will unlock a quick-action panel for even more control.
✌️ two fingers extended
Click to expand
Complete Demo
Every gesture. One session.
More than drawing

Not a toolbar.
A language.

Everything you just saw — the pinch, the open palm, the pointing finger, the menus that bloom open around your hand — none of it is a shortcut. It's vocabulary. AirVA reads your hands the way a person reads a voice, turning motion into meaning thirty times a second.

Spread three fingers and the canvas moves with you. Hold two and a spatial menu unfolds at your fingertip. Point, and the system follows your intent across the screen. Switch modes, choose a brush, navigate a panel, confirm a choice — with nothing to touch, no mouse, no keyboard. You don't operate AirVA. You speak to it, and it understands.

That's not a drawing app. That's an interaction layer — the grammar of an operating system you command with your bare hands. The same gestures that paint a stroke today will open a window tomorrow, summon a file the day after, and arrange an entire workspace in the air the day after that.

We didn't build a better paintbrush. We built a new way to talk to computers — and taught it to run on the camera already sitting inside your laptop. No headset. No hardware. No permission required.

Drawing is simply the first thing
we taught it to say.
Every gesture
Leaves a mark.

FAQ

Everything you
need to know.

AirVA is browser-based spatial computing for everyone — built on the idea that you should not need a $3,500 headset to interact with a digital interface using just your hands. Today, AirVA is the most powerful air drawing app on the web. Tomorrow, it becomes AirVa OS — a full spatial operating system that runs from any webcam. Drawing is the first layer. The infinite canvas, the gesture language, the world coordinate system — all of it is the foundation of something much bigger.

AirVA is already more than a drawing app. The same gesture system you use to draw also opens spatial menus, switches modes, navigates panels, and confirms choices — all in mid-air, with nothing to touch. That is the interaction model of an operating system, not a single tool. Drawing is the first surface we built on top of it. Future phases add notes, shapes, text, floating windows, and apps — each reusing the same gesture vocabulary you already know.

No special equipment needed. Any laptop, desktop, or mobile device with a built-in camera works. AirVA uses your existing webcam and computer vision to detect your hand gestures in real time. No stylus, no drawing tablet, no $3,500 headset required — just your hand and a camera.

AirVA uses MediaPipe, an advanced computer vision library, to track 21 points on your hand 30 times per second. When it detects a pinch between your thumb and index finger, it starts drawing on the canvas. Your hand position in physical space maps directly to precise strokes on a digital canvas — creating the experience of drawing in the air with zero hardware.

Yes, completely free. No account required, no credit card, no trial period. Open your browser, click Start Drawing, allow camera access, and you are drawing in seconds. No strings attached.

Absolutely — AirVA was built with content creators in mind. Record your air drawing session as an MP4, then export a timelapse at 2×, 3×, or 5× speed for instant Reels, Shorts, or TikTok content. For live streams, AirVA works as a browser source in OBS. Drawing in the air over your live camera feed is a proven attention-grabber used for thumbnails, tutorials, and real-time annotations.

AirVA works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and laptop. Mobile browser support is available for iOS and Android — open getairva.com on any device with a camera. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.

AirVA has 6 brush types: Marker (clean flat strokes), Neon Glow (bright glowing edges), Velocity Ink (width responds to hand speed), Rainbow Gradient (auto-cycling color animation), Mono (smooth two-color gradient), and Sparks (fire particle trail). Every brush is designed to look stunning on camera — whether you are drawing in the air for an audience or just for yourself.

With a stylus or drawing tablet you are still touching a surface. AirVA lets you draw completely in the air — your hand never touches anything. The infinite canvas has no edges, and you navigate it with natural hand gestures. It is the spatial computing experience of a $3,500 headset, running on any laptop with a webcam, for free.

Spatial computing means interacting with digital content in 3D space using your hands instead of a mouse or keyboard. Until now, this required a $3,500 Apple Vision Pro or a $500 Meta Quest. Browser-based spatial computing is the same paradigm without the hardware lock-in — it runs entirely in your web browser using your built-in camera. AirVA proves you do not need any special hardware to experience spatial computing.

Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest are hardware-locked — their spatial computing experience only works on their $500–$3,500 device strapped to your face. AirVA is platform-agnostic. It runs in any web browser on any laptop, tablet, or phone with a camera. Their moat is hardware. Our moat is the gesture language and the software layer, which means anyone with a webcam already has the device.

AirVa OS is our long-term vision: a full spatial operating system that runs in your browser. The roadmap moves through five phases. Phase 1 — Canvas OS, where we are today, with drawing and gestures. Phase 2 — Spatial Sketchpad, adding sticky notes, shapes, and text on an infinite whiteboard. Phase 3 — Multi-window layer, with multiple canvases floating in space. Phase 4 — App ecosystem, with music, files, and tools all gesture-controlled. Phase 5 — AirVa OS, the full spatial OS with persistent state and an app launcher gesture. Air drawing is just the wedge.

Your space.
No limits.
Just air.

Turn your webcam into an air drawing canvas. No download, no hardware — just open AirVA and start creating in seconds.
