Wacom has unveiled Inkling, a system that allows to digitally capture sketches made with pen on paper and to transform them into digital format.
Wacom Inkling on Linux. The first one used infrared for tracking the Inkling uses both infrared and ultrasound, apparently and was intended for use with a PalmPilot back in the days when your PalmPilot reset itself to factory mode every time it ran out inling battery.

Inkling by Wacom is a system consisting of a special ballpoint pen and a wireless receiver capable of capturing sketches, stroke by stroke, and to store and transfer them to the computer for further editing or refining.
Inkiling will be available at $199.00 from mid-September and will run on Mac OS 10.4.0 (or later) or Windows 7, Vista or XP (SP3, 32 or 64 bit versions).
The ballpoint pen uses Wacom pressure-sensing technology to detect how hard the pen is being pressed to the paper while sketching.
The receiver can be clipped to the edge of standard paper or sketchbooks and the position can be adjusted for left or right handed users to provide the receiver with an uninterrupted line of sight with the pen tip.
When sketching is complete, the receiver is connected to the user’s computer via USB to transfer the digital files.
Files are opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to manage layers or change file formats before transferring them for adjustment and editing in other creative software applications.
The system can store thousands of sketches and can export layered files from the Sketch Manager software directly to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (CS3 or newer), as well as Autodesk Sketchbook Pro (2011 or newer).
Alternatively, files can be saved in JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, SVG and PDF formats for use with other applications.
The pen and receiver store and recharge in a compact case making it easy to transport Inkling between, home, office or any typical workspace.
For more information you can refer to a series of Getting Started videos at Wacom’s website.

Wacom has introduced the Inkling, a digital sketch pen that captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper.
Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling bridges the gap between paper sketching and digital drawing by giving users at the front end of the creative process a way to rough-out ideas with real ink on paper and capture their concepts digitally so that they can be later refined on their computer, according to Don Varga, director of Professional Products at Wacom.
Inkling even allows users to create layers in the digital file while sketching on paper in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Spontaneous and Liberating. The digital sketch pen is comprised of both hardware and software components.

Hardware includes both the pen and a wireless receiver that captures a likeness of the sketch and stores it digitally. The ballpoint pen uses Wacom’s pressure sensing technology (1024 levels of sensitivity) to detect how hard the pen is being pressed to the paper while sketching. These pressure variations will appear in the digital version of your drawing.
The receiver can be clipped to the edge of standard paper or sketchbooks and the position can be adjusted for left or right handed users to provide the receiver with an uninterrupted line of sight with the pen tip. When sketching is complete, the receiver is connected to the user’s computer via USB to transfer the digital files. Files can be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete or add layers as well as to change formats and transfer the files for adjustment and editing in creative software applications.
