Adobe Mighty Pen And Napoleon Ruler

The Adobe Mighty Pen has a button control located where the index finger rests to allow the user to pull up menus to change colors, brush types and other details as they use the pen. The app notices the difference between the pen and a finger, so the pen can be used to illustrate, the finger can be used to erase. A single tap acts as an “undo” command, another tap reverses the undo. These are a few of a larger set of commands and controls that can be used to re-create the experience of pen on paper, one that creatives have relied upon for generations. In addition to the Mighty Pen, Adobe has also revealed the Napoleon Ruler, a companion device that will feel very familiar to drafters, architects and other illustrative creatives. It features a set of controls that work in conjunction with Mighty Pen to create an environment similar to the traditional pencil-and-ruler combination that illustrators love. Adobe’s Mighty Pen and Napoleon Ruler do not yet have an official release date or price. As this is Adobe’s virgin foray into hardware production, it’s tough to say exactly when these devices will arrive. They are an exciting pair, one that will have visual creatives abuzz until they arrive in the not-too-distant future.
