A vibrating smartpen to help you learn writing grammatically correct.
With
increasing dependency on 'Spell Checks' and 'Auto-correct', using pen
and paper to write correctly can be really difficult for many of us.
Well, a help in form a smartpen has been developed that'll vibrate to
alert the writer when an error is sensed.
The vibrating smartpen, designed by a
Germany-based company called Lerntift, aims to help youths learn how to
write. However, the device is likely to appeal people across different
age groups.
Currently in prototype stage, the
vibrating smartpen can sense spelling errors or letter formation in
real-time, delivering an alert to the writer's hand.
Moreover, there are two functions given
to users to choose from. First up is Calligraphy mode in which the
device highlights flaws of form and legibility. Second one is
Orthographic mode in which the device points out orthographic and
grammatical mistakes. The smartphone features sensors that detect
variations in the way letters are formed, and vibrates instantaneously
if an error is sensed.
Creators of the vibrating smartpen Falk and Mandy Wolsky reveal on their website
they were inspired by their son's early writing attemps. 'From the very
first words there were errors,” they said on their website.
The designers are set to launch a
crowdfunding project for financial assistance. They are also working to
include more features in the smartpens such as pressure sensor, computer
connectivity and an open platform for others to add apps and increase
functionality of the device.
