Abstract

The Graf/Pen is a digitizing or data gathering device in which the operator simply holds a pen to point or to create graphical input for digital systems. Previous attempts to provide a natural graphical input have suffered from one or more disadvantages. The method in which strings extend from the cursor to mechanical or optical encoders (mangiospago) does not allow the operator to sketch as naturally as with a pen. The method of crossed wire grids and capacitive sensing known as the Rand Tablet is inherently expensive while being limited in size and format. Other methods using resistive sheets and capacitive sensing suffer from poor integral linearity, and in addition, require ADC's. Our own R & D group has long had all of the technology needed to solve the problems, but we were in a different area of science and were unaware of the need for a natural man-machine interface. A little accidental cross-fertilization between us and computer scientists prompted us to develop the extremely simple and versatile device I am about to describe.
坟墓/笔
Graf/Pen是一种数字化或数据采集设备,操作人员只需持有笔来指向或为数字系统创建图形输入。以前提供自然图形输入的尝试都有一个或多个缺点。将字符串从光标延伸到机械或光学编码器(mangiospago)的方法不允许操作员像用笔一样自然地绘图。交叉线网格和电容感应的方法被称为兰德平板电脑,它本身就很昂贵,而且在尺寸和格式上受到限制。其他使用电阻片和电容感测的方法积分线性度差,而且需要ADC。我们自己的研发团队早就拥有了解决这些问题所需的所有技术,但我们处在一个不同的科学领域,没有意识到对自然人机界面的需求。我们和计算机科学家之间的一次偶然的交流促使我们开发了我即将描述的极其简单和多功能的设备。
