Everybody talks about the iPad hype. It, for sure, is a media hype however on the other hand it is the most advanced tablet using touch screen technology for today. For me it is important because it brings the spirit of tablet devices into the society. I believe there will be a significant push of the tablet branch in mobile devices. There will be many developers and designers producing many nice ideas for the device. Not only as a piece of hardware but also as a device for social interaction it may change many small details in daily life.
The first interesting app for me is already released by Autodesk: SketchBook Pro. As you may see in the video by using sketch pro you can make sketches without using any brush, paint, canvas or tools. I am sure there are many problems of the usability and sensitivity in the recent version of the app however, once we think about the future of this practice what may change for designers and illustrators?
- No mediator tool anymore? No brush, paint?
- Will drawing education change?
- How could it be possible to optimize the ‘touches’ depending on the finger?
- How collaborative drawing may evolve? Sketching together online?
- What could be the expressionist styles in finger touch sketching?
I don’t have the answers and I am not sure how finger touch devices may improve in the future but it is for sure that there will be many changes in the field of drawing and sketching. If you are interested you may see some more ipad application demos at macrumors.
