Simulating pen to paper
The CUSTODIEV project has found new means to address artists' needs in a variety of ways. New technology, artistic projects and artists shaping technology have been geared with a creative pull. The focus is on novel ways of designing animation, narrative drawing and performance-driven art through a virtual core prompted by open sources. One of the ways this was done is through the design of an electronic, paper-like surface which can incorporate written as well as drawn input. Since there is a demand for text input on electronic paper, this invisible manner of pen-input can be viewed as a great technological asset. This method is highly suited for artistic use. However, upon entering the mainstream market, it should also become less expensive and more compact with a custom design option. Display size is also expected to increase to A4 in the future.
