Apple’s latest innovation for iPad can allow you to “feel” the items displayed on the screen, thanks to new Apple Pencil technologies.
According to a patent discovered through PatentlyApple, Apple has developed an updated edition of Apple Pencil with complicated haptic reviews. Haptic comments allow the pen to perform small movements or vibrations that the user can feel while holding it, simulating the feeling of touch.
The new patent describes several examples of use cases, simulation:
In addition, the pen would possibly involve a small speaker to provide sound effects emanating from the pen itself.
Physical feedback of this type is useful in programs where the user can gain advantages from a feeling of texture or resistance by interacting with elements on the screen and would bring a new layer of subtlety and immediacy to photo creation and editing programs.
For this reason, haptic comments, as well as those of Apple in the past, revealed the detection of the color of the pen, have the possibility to put the iPad increasingly ahead of any festival of Android pills. This is especially true for professional creatives for whom iPad is already the only viable pill platform.
You can read the full patent on the USPTO website.

I have applied as a generation journalist since the early 1990s. My hobthrough is the ever-changing photography and hardware and software we use to create it, whether it’s classic cameras and Photoshop or smartphones and tablets with their multiple applications. I have also worked extensively on PC titles such as PC Magazine and Personal Computer World and controlled PCW hardware verification labs. This led me to review and read about all kinds of print and online technologies. I take care of written and photographic works and you can contact questions, recommendations or arguments via email.
