For many people, taking notes with pen and paper has always been easier and more intuitive than typing. Nuwa Pen allows them to continue doing so, but it also digitizes what they have written for subsequent sharing and searching.
So first of all, yes, we have I have seen handwriting record smart pens before. One key difference with the Nuwa Pen, however, is that it can be used on any paper you have on hand—in contrast, most other pens require special paper.
Made by Dutch startup Nuwa, this aluminum body uses regular replaceable D1-format ballpoint refills. It also features three downward-facing cameras, along with motion and pressure sensors and an infrared LED for low-light conditions.
An integrated Arm Cortex M4 processor chip uses AI-based software to analyze data from cameras and sensors to determine what words are written. This information is transmitted via Bluetooth LE to an iOS/Android app on the user’s smartphone, from where it is uploaded to an online server for storage – the pen also has 2 GB of onboard memory.
