E-mail is still the Internet’s greatest killer application yet, so how about a pen which can transfer handwriting directly onto your PC as you race away on a plain sheet of paper, and then, transfer your penmanship via email?
Did we hear you mutter "digital ink"? Or, "sensor-embedded paper"? Au contraire, it’s just good old carbon black loaded inside the pen, while the sensor is built right into the middle.
When nib is put to paper, the sensor picks up the impact and directs it through an ultrasound converter. A beeper at the pen’s tail-end broadcasts the ultrawave signals to a receiver (Windows-compatible, obviously) which works decouples the message, while Hi-Tech’s software replicates the handwriting on a PC screen.
Longhand is not dead, it just got digitised pretty well. ‘Made and developed in India’ sounds good for a change. Hopefully, we will see this work well with stylus-free handhelds too.
