PENny: An Extremely Low-Cost Pressure-Sensitive Stylus for Existing Capacitive Touchscreens
نویسندگان
چکیده
By building a wired passive stylus we have added pressure sensitivity to existing capacitive touch screen devices for less than $10 in materials, about 1/10th the cost of existing solutions. The stylus makes use of the built-in audio interface that is available on most smartphones and tablets on the market today. Limitations of the device include the physical constraint of wires, the occupation of one audio input and output channel, and increased latency equal to the period of at least one audio buffer duration. The stylus has been demonstrated in two NIME applications thus far: a visual musical score drawing and a singing synthesis application.

Usability evaluation of single - stroke vs . multi - stroke gesture recognition for rapid text input on small screen mobile devices
Without physical keyboard, users have to turn to key-based or stylus-based text entry device for solutions. Stylus-based handwriting interaction seems more natural. However, problems of segmentation and recognition come out [3]. (Note that since 2007’s announcement of the iPhone, and widespread adaptability of capacitive touchscreens, stylus has gradually been replaced by finger-touch user inte...
متن کاملHaptic Pen: A Tactile Feedback Stylus for Touch Displays
In this paper we present a system for providing tactile feedback for stylus-based touch-screen displays. The Haptic Pen is a simple low-cost device that provides individualized feedback for multiple simultaneous users and can operate on large input displays as well as ordinary surfaces. We combine a pressure-sensitive stylus with a small solenoid to generate a wide range of tactile sensations. ...

We present a novel multimodal input method permitting users to draw or paint using coordinated gestures of hand and mouth. A head-worn camera and computer vision algorithm provides a noninvasive, comfortable and low-cost user interface. Combining colour thresholding and image morphology techniques permits segmentation of the region of the open mouth. An adaptive algorithm, based on Fisher’s dis...
متن کاملUltra-Sharpening of Diamond Stylus by 500 eV O+/O2 + Ion Beam Machining without Facet and Ripple Formation
The price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. Yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. In this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (RIBM). In our method, ...
