You can get stylus' for apple's touch devices, I recently ordered one for my iPad.
It's called a Pogo Sketch
I plan to use my iPad for doodling and whatnot of a night time in bed, aswell as reading and general media consumption - its really my "bed time" screen device.
- stcredzero 16y agoThe Pogo sketch works pretty well with the ArtStudio app. I can even get some "brush" effect. (No pressure sensitivity. I think it's all a software trick.)
- roc 16y agoArt Studio tapers from the start and to the end of a stroke over time of the stroke. So a faster stroke looks thinner, as more of it is drawn within the tapered times. Quite a few line strokes look quite pleasing due the effect. It's very neat.
- kurumo 16y agoI have the Pogo stylus. The problem with it, or rather with ArtStudio, Sketchpad, Brushes and all the stylus note-taking apps is the same: you cannot rest your hand on the screen. It registers touches from the hand instead of the stylus. That makes all of these apps pretty much useless as far as I am concerned: it is quite inconvenient to draw or write using these applications, even though some of them are extremely impressive otherwise. This, frankly, boggles my mind - granted the screen sensor API is closed, but is it not possible to do velocity distribution thresholding on different touch events, or maybe something more sophisticated, a Kalman filter or something, to distinguish these touches and ignore the 'stationary' ones?
- froo 16y agoI use a SmudgeGuard with my Wacom Cintiq - I suppose the same thing would work for the iPad. I haven't received my iPad yet to test it out. EDIT - link http://www.smudgeguard.com/ http://www.smudgeguard.com/
- kurumo 16y agoThanks, I will try it. Application-level solution would still be preferable, I think, and is an interesting problem, aside from the immediate usability benefits.
- catch23 16y agocheap way to solve that problem is just to wear one of those gloves with holes cut out for the fingers... I use my bicycling gloves and they work great. I don't think we need to use fancy technology to solve this simple problem :-)
