Abstract

See full text

A graphics input device for use with location indicating means to present graphic data upon a computer controlled visual display. The device includes a pen having a housing within which is disposed a conductive stylus shaft, one end extending beyond the housing to serve as the writing tip. A cylindrical off-axis pressure transducer encircles a portion of the stylus shaft within the housing, adjacent its writing end, for generating a variable output electrical signal proportional to the variable off-axis force applied to the stylus independently of the rotational orientation of the pen. A display processing and control system receives the variable signals and modifies a visual characteristic of the graphic data in response thereto.
