From the traditional way of sketching or drawing using a mouse with your computer, a new technology was discovered to make our life easier, a pen tablet.  The latest graphics pen tablet from Wacom, the Intuos4 was announced last month from Japan. There are 4 different models released this April including Intuos4 Small, Medium, Large, Xtra-Large DTP, and Xtra-Large CAD with pricing range between $302 and $1,076. Developed as a high performance design tool, the Intuos4 comes with the new IC (integrated circuit) and display function. Highlights: 2048 pressure levels that accurately detect fingertip nuances, New tip sensor provides full expressiveness even with light brushstrokes, Assisting Increased efficiency in creative work, Touchwheel – improving the operability of software, Customizable to personal tastes, and more.

  • An extremely natural form of input.  Writing with the hand and sketching with a keyboard and mouse is really difficult compared using a pen tablet .  Using your hand for input is also beneficial for those who are new or unfamiliar with traditional computers.
  • Gesture Recognition.  Many tablets come equipped with gesture recognition software which is a powerful technique to improve productivity and manage several applications and programs at once.
  • Taking handwritten notes and drawing graphs and diagrams during conferences or meetings can help those retain information and is one of the most efficient ways to keep notes.
