Microsoft today said it has acquired digital pen technology from N-Trig.
Microsoft has worked with the Israeli company for years, as N-Trig created the Surface Pen stylus for Microsoft’s Surface tablets.
“Digital pens have a ways to go to be as good as pen and paper on some dimensions, and we’ll get there. But more importantly, adding the ability to capture and share the work you do with a digital pen opens up possibilities that traditional pen and paper just can’t match,” said Microsoft in a blog post.
In the past, N-Trig created the DuoSense Pen for using with Android and Windows Phone smartphones. Terms of the technology deal with Microsoft were not disclosed.
