Inkling Digitizes Your Analog Sketches
Wacom’s Inkling is a digital sketch pen that captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch on any sketchbook or paper of your choice. In addition to sketch capture, Inkling allows you create layers in digital files that can be exported to Photoshop and Illustrator for further development and detailing. According to Wacom:
Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.
Available in mid-September, Inkling will have a MSRP of $199.
We love this product for allowing a very human and long-embedded behavior — sketching rough ideas during brainstorms, ideations and planning phases — to easily be able to take a digital format. Rather than trying to change a behavior (sketching), it provides a different tool (the ‘updated’ pen) that will simplify the process of digitizing the original idea.
Which brings us to another rhetorical question – perhaps the opportunity or question for a business isn’t always ‘How do we change behavior?’ Sometimes, it’s: ‘How do I improve the tools that will facilitate or slightly augment existing behavior?’
