A whole paragraph to never answer the question it sets up...

In the end, it's an app: https://www.microsoft.com/store/r/9MTC56W1RXQH

PS: and a framework open sourced somewhere to deal with what is produced by the app

What you get when corporations demand outcomes based on learnings observed while watching maker communities from the tops of corporate HQs. Still, not as baffling as the Multipoint SDK. LaMetric have done it better before. If you want a non-Windows solution Open Source alternatives exist.

That’s very confusing. Is it a physical device, or a desktop application, or both?

I watched the two-minute introduction video, and learned that it's "an inclusive app" that's all about diversity. But I came away with no real idea of what it actually is.

Basically an app that lets you draw in 8-bit/retro style.

Huh. 35+ years ago I enjoyed making animations like this, on my C-64 and a friend's Apple II, by writing very very long lists of POKEs and PEEKs. Funny to see thyis style coming back around again.
