What comes to mind when you hear the term “copy and paste”?

Probably the right click of your mouse, or, “ctrl c, ctrl v”.

To be frank, age-old mechanisms like that insult our fast-changing futurized society.

What if the job no longer required your average keyboard or mouse? What if you could do it with the thing in your pocket?

No, not your wallet, not your keys, but your smartphone.

Well, thanks to creative coder Cyril Diagne, it’s soon possible.

On May 3rd, 2020, the Google artist posted a short video on twitter that had a smartphone using augmented reality to copy/paste real-life objects onto a Photoshop application.

The AR Cut and Paste program basically allows us to “cut” objects in our real-life environment, and then “paste” these objects into any editing software on our computer, like photoshop.
