Tomas Chlebek “I always like it when you start using something with a little less respect. Because when you start using it a little carelessly and thoughtlessly, that's when, I think, you really use it naturally. What I like lately is that when I'm just thinking, I hold the Pencil like I would hold a pen and a pad and I just start drawing.” he said Jony Ive in an interview for The Telegraph in occasion sales launch the new iPad Pro.
The history of the pencil begins in the second half of the sixteenth century, but the history of tools used to create drawings or written records is much, much earlier. It seems ridiculous that Apple, or rather Jony Ive, would want to enter it with something seemingly as simple as a stylus.
On the other hand, when developing the Apple Pencil, the company did everything to ensure that it had such potential. It was not created as the best stylus, but as the most efficient drawing tool. Hence the name clearly referring to the "analog world", as Ive calls the world of recording instruments not powered by electricity or software.
At the same time, iOS itself is adapted to interact with the finger, which meant solving several technological problems when creating the Apple Pencil: "We hoped that if you are used to working with brushes, pencils and pens a lot, this will seem like a natural extension of that experience - that this will seem familiar. Achieving this level of very simple, natural behavior was a significant technological challenge.”
The result of the work of designers and engineers is a classically simple, minimalist-looking device with a white color and plastic body, which hides several sensors measuring the pressure exerted on the display and the angle of the tip with respect to the surface so that a line similar to or the same as , which a pencil or other adequate drawing tool would leave on the paper with the same treatment.
“When you start to realize that you're doing it without much intention and just using it as the tool that it is, you'll understand that you've progressed from trying to actually using it. When you cross that line, that's when it seems the most powerful," says Apple's chief designer about one of his latest creations.
Apple Pencil is available as an accessory for iPad Pro and costs 2 crowns. Renowned ones also praised him graphic whether cinematic studies.
Alas, Appencil will be available in two or three weeks. 32GB iPPro to be delivered on Friday, 128GB version also at the end of November. Damage. Ted would be a good fit for me. Oh well, I still have to spend a while with the Cintiq.
I'm also curious about him. Not that there is anything wrong with the cintiqu, I've been working with it for years and I like it (especially the batteryless pencil), but from all the reviews the apple pencil has really piqued my interest.
I'm still interested in how the "pencil" interacts with the iPad Air 2 ;)
he won't wait. Appencil only works with iPPro :-(
I'll love this when it can bite the iPad Air. I've been thinking for a long time about some kind of device where I could draw directly on the screen instead of by hand and scan.
