Wacom® Co., Ltd. today announced that its Wacom feel IT technologies (hereafter called "feel™"), digital pen sensor system optimized for a wide variety of applications on mobile devices, has been adopted by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd for its GALAXY Note 8.0.
In 2011, the GALAXY Note was the first smartphone to adopt Wacom's digital pen sensor system. Following the GALAXY Note 10.1 (launched in August 2011), the GALAXY Note II (September 2012), and the ATIV Smart PC (October 2012), this is the fifth product by Samsung to make use of feel™.
The S Pen of Galaxy Note 8.0, supported by feel™, has evolved to increase everyday usability and enhance creative expression. Take Air View for example, the S Pen needs only to hover over the screen to see previews of videos, emails, photos and appointments on S Planner without opening the file or application in full. Also, S Pen allows images and content to be easily edited and cropped, whilst Paper Artist and Photo Note allow photos to be artistically personalized.
Wacom feel IT technologies is comprised of a highly sensitive digital pen and other key components integrated in the GALAXY Note 8.0, resulting in a natural and intuitive user interface solution. By promoting adoption of feel™ in mobile devices, Wacom strives to bring creative new digital communication solutions to a wide range of consumers using mobile products.
