Pressure-Sensitive Drawing Will Soon be Available in the iPad

06 Jul 2010 | Apps |

Ten One Design is planning to release a pressure-sensitive drawing app which will be compatible with the iPad.

 

Even though the iPad does not have a pressure sensitive feature, the design firm has managed to make the app work with the device by using special software and a capacitive stylus.

The app will respond to pressure by using Pogo’ stylus: harder physical stroke will create a border line while less pressure strokes will create thinner marks. This feature can be very useful to the illustrators.

Another useful feature of the app is its palm rejection capability. This enables the iPad to recognize input from the stylus alone and not the user’s palm on the screen.

Ten One Design plans to release this feature as a free software library so any developer can integrate it into their app. The company also hopes that the app can be part of the Apple iOS4 UIKit framework.
