How it works

One stroke. A record of how it happened.

01 / WRITE

Put ink on the page.

Write naturally with the refill on ordinary paper.

02 / RECORD

Capture the signals.

Two motion sensors and a tip force sensor record the movement.

03 / CONNECT

Move the data.

Bluetooth and onboard storage support the recording workflow.

04 / STUDY

Learn from the writing.

Recognition and writing-support models are part of our research.

The sensor pen

Study the movement.

The pen adds timing, motion and force to the written page. We are developing the hardware, firmware and dataset needed for motion-based recognition.

  • Dual-IMU sensing at a design rate of 208 Hz
  • Tip force for contact and pressure research
  • Offline recording and Bluetooth connectivity

What is available now?

The online handwriting analyser is live. The sensor pen is a prototype in development; contact us about demonstrations or research collaboration.

Do I need special paper?

The pen is designed to write with ink on ordinary paper. Motion recording does not depend on a printed dot pattern.

What are the battery estimates?

The current estimates are around 15 hours of continuous recording and about 2 hours to charge over USB-C. Final-unit performance remains to be confirmed.

Can it recognise my handwriting?

Motion-based character recognition is part of Project Akshara research. A signal recording and a validated recognition system are different milestones.

When can I buy it?

Contact the team for the current development status. Production availability, price and final dimensions will be confirmed before launch.
