The Apple Pencil is more advanced than you think
Jumping Trout, LLC
(IBT June 30, 2020) Apple has been awared a new patent titled, "Stylus with haptic feedback for texture simulation". Their orignal model for the stylus, known as the Apple Pencil, allows users to do a lot of things on the company's tablets, most notably on the iPad Pro.
This new patent allows users to feel like they're using a real writing tool - like drawing on a piece of paper using a charcoal pencil. The stylus has a "force-sensing system" that will detect the movement of the tip relative to its body when writing on a surface. The haptic feedback system will then be used to render texture sensations that will simulate the feeling of writing with different utensils or on different surfaces.
For example, you could write with a pen on paper, or a highlighter on cardboard - the Apple Pen will successfully mimic the feeling. How cool is that?
This version of the pen has not yet been released.
