Wacom, a leader in pens and tablets for creative professionals, is pioneering a new device. The Wacom VR Pen, created specifically for users who want to harness the power of virtual reality (VR).
The device is a highly pressure-sensitive pen controller that allows creators to not only design in VR, but also with the full range of professional pen tablets for traditional 2D design.
The Wacom VR Pen will be available to developers initially, as seen on Wacom's website. here
One of the biggest hurdles in creating a VR stylus is the lack of robust feedback, which makes drawing in open spaces difficult and inherently less detailed.
The new stylus, however, with a pressure-sensitive button near the tip of the pen, allows users to physically change the thickness of the stroke based on the amount of force used when holding the pen, creating a similar experience to drawing with pen on paper.
The Wacom VR Pen also has a few other buttons, including a trigger-type grip, a rotary knob for selecting a digital tool, and a selector toggle on the button itself.
The Wacom VR Pen offers much more. A standalone tracking solution that doesn't rely on standard VR tracking systems like Valve's SteamVR base stations or Oculus Insight, and an integrated optical tracking solution on the Oculus Rift S and Quest/Quest 2.
Wacom President and CEO Nobu Ide emphasizes that the company is moving towards creating native virtual reality creation and believes that the VR Pen "unlike any other pen Wacom has created in the past will be the transition point into the next creative future."
