VR Ink Pilot edition

The VR Ink Pilot Edition is a lighthouse-tracked physical pen that can be used in either virtual or augmented reality for 3D or 2D drawing. This product is a development kit meant to explore various possibilities of interacting with content in VR or AR. It also comes with a large drawing pad which can be used for 2D drawing. Pressure sensitivity is enabled in two possible ways: for 3D drawing, a pressure-sensitive button is provided that the user must press to regulate stroke width. For 2D drawing, the pen tip is used to register the applied pressure. The battery on the pen runs for about 3 hours, but the pen can be also used while being charged. Many interesting possibilities open up to engineers leading to use cases where a pen-like interaction can be beneficial (not only drawing, but sculpting, etc.). Software/driver support is provided for major game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine through the free SDK. Intended as a combination for Varjo and HTC Vive Pro, and needs SteamVR and lighthouses for tracking.
