Apple patent filing reveals the efforts to introduce an intelligent stylus with extendable nib and loaded with multiple sensors.
Apple introduced the i Pad tablet to compete with several large display bearing tablets and even those which required a stylus. Apple's patent filing about an input device basically focuses on an intelligent. Stylus that includes a removable nib/tip and is loaded with multiple sensors. Unlike the existing stylus with fixed bib. the Apple stylus aims to be different. Last we saw HTC scribe pen aiming to change the way people use stylus back in 2011. Unfortunately, HTC scribe didn't work out well with the HTC flyer tablet.
However, till now, Apple has resisted adding stylus and focused on providing better interactive experience through IOS and APPs. Apple inside spotted a patent filling by Apple that basically mentions an input device for different computing devices including those with touchscreens.
Apple is working on an intelligent stylus that will have an extendable or removable nib/tip.The key features of the nib is that is flexible and extendable. The image shows different types of tips used; extendable, brush like and thin with brush like tip fixed in the front, the stylus can be used to add brushing effect or point on the touchscreen display.
The filing also mentions about different sensor to detect the motion along with Apple working on stylus with extendable nib for touchscreen devices. The intelligent stylus would also have a microchip to send across the commands to the graphical user interface on the touchscreen devices. For instance, the stylus can easily change the colour of the traces or the paint.
This advance Apple stylus can be used for several purposes such as teaching digital painting and graphic works to the new age desigeneus as well as artists. Also quite possible the future generation of iMac and Apple Mac Book line up. Apple's intelligent advanced stylus would be yet another accessory or interactive component to be used with the Apple touchscreen based devices such as Apple iPad. Other than that, it can be a great input devices joystick for interactive games.
Thank you :)
