While development is at the patent level
Apple continues to work on a stylus for its tablets – the Apple Pencil. This time, it became known that the gadget can learn to determine colors in the real world.
The dream of a modern artist and designer. Apple Pencil can detect colors in the real world
This is indicated by a patent application published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The application describes a “computer stylus” that can be equipped with a “color sensor”. As a result, Apple Pencil can be used to determine the colors of objects in the real world. In a similar way, the “eyedropper” is used in graphic editors. You can, for example, determine the color of a flower and then use it in your digital art. A specific color will be added to the palette in the drawing application.
As is usually the case with patents, it is not yet clear how quickly the development will be commercialized, or whether it will even make it to store shelves.
