Sprout by HP (styled as sprout) is a personal computer from Hewlett-Packard announced on October 29, 2014 and released for sale on November 9, 2014. The system was conceived by Brad Short.[1][2] Eric Monsef, a former Apple, Inc employee, is leading the sprout team.[3]

Sprout has dual interactive screens - a vertical touch screen display positioned in-line above a horizontal ‘TouchMat’ display, and also down-facing imaging sensors. The "Sprout Illuminator" serves as a projector, camera, depth sensor and scanner, and projects an image, for example a virtual keyboard, on the TouchMat.[4] For additional input, Sprout includes an Adonit stylus, as well as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse set. This enables users to interact with physical and digital content while working.[5] Content can be digitally captured and manipulated in 2D or 3D directly on the TouchMat interface.[5] HP claims that this greatly simplifies and streamlines the creative process.
