Jaja Pressure Sensitive Stylus

[Bronsky]

What would be ironic is if the new optical technology Microsoft is developing becomes the foundation for a workable pressure sensitive pen on the IPad. That would be odd indeed.

I ended up backing this project..so waiting on it to arrive and give a full review.

This is really cool!

I wonder if you can hear the sound? I wonder what frequency it transmits at. I can hear up to around 14,000 Hz. (I had to add sound damping to my recently acquired SSD drive because I could hear the damned thing whining away. Wrapping it in paper towel solved the problem).

But if it works without irritation, then it's a pretty awesome solution which could be implemented on much larger capacitive touch screens. I hope to see the Jaja get out of the gate.

Also, I can think of a couple of different implementations which might improve usability. Here's one below:



The only problem is that palm rejection would have to be added somehow. You'd need to wear a glove like the one in latinvixin's video.

All in all, not perfect, but I love the process of invention. With time and enough creativity and refinement, I bet you could get this to work at a professional level.
