The pen is dead. Long live the pen.

Segmentation of Pen Strokes Using Pen Speed

We present a technique for segmenting pen strokes into lines and arcs. The technique uses pen speed information to help infer the segmentation intended by the drawer. To begin, a set of candidate segment points is identified. This set includes speed minima below a threshold computed from the average pen speed. It also includes curvature maxima at which the pen speed is again below a threshold. ...

An insight into the freedom of using a pen: Pen-based system and pen-and-paper

In recent years the studies of freehand sketch began to peek into cognitive study area from the design media aspect. The development of pen-based system attempted to use pen as an input device, allowing sketches to be freely drawn in computers environment. The importance of the freehand sketch is in its ability to freely represent various drawing projections using ambiguous sketches. However, a...

A comparative evaluation of mouse, pen- and touch-input in computerized version of the Torrance tests of creative thinking

This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing mouse, penand touch-inputs in computerized figural creativity test. The results show no statistically significant differences in creativity scores obtained by participants using mentioned devices as computer input methods. The results indicate that creativity testing can be introduced to a variety of modern computer devices with insigni...
