As for pen-like input devices, Thnkpad X41 Tablet (released in 2005) was the first, except for external tablets. However, I did not make much use of it. I changed from the original iPad to the iPad Air on 2014-01-04 and am trying the stylus because of the increased reaction time. I started to include hand drawn diagrams in my presentation materials in 2010, and the demand for them has been increasing.

  • Before the iPad, I used to take pictures of what I drew on whiteboard or notepad. For a while after that, I posted diagrams drawn with the stylus on Facebook, but the slow response time prevented me from making much use of it. image

Purchased iPad Pro in 2018. Accompanied Jun Kuikei in his activities and took classes with Kazuhiro Shiozawa.
