FiftyThree is well known for their popular Paper app and their Pencil Stylus. The stylus only works with the Paper app at the moment, although that is about to change with the launch of the FiftyThree SDK.
The company has announced their new FiftyThree SDK today, and it will allow third-party developers to make the Pencil stylus work with their applications.
Unlocking New Creative Possibilities
Open up new ways for users to interact with your app by integrating Pencil, the award-winning Bluetooth stylus from FiftyThree. The FiftyThree SDK lets you take advantage of industry-leading features such as palm rejection, advanced touch classification, and effortless Bluetooth pairing.
The FiftyThree SDK will allow developers to offer the same functions that are available on the Pencil stylus and Paper app on their applications. This means that users will be able to enjoy a seamless and intuitive drawing experience across a variety of platforms, not just limited to the Paper app. The SDK includes features like palm rejection, which allows users to rest their hand on the screen while drawing without causing any unwanted marks. Advanced touch classification helps in distinguishing between different types of touch inputs, ensuring that the stylus is recognized accurately. Effortless Bluetooth pairing makes it easy for users to connect their Pencil stylus to their devices without any hassle.
Integration and Benefits for Developers
FiftyThree’s products are renowned for their craft, simplicity, and expressiveness. We put these same values into the design of our SDK. FiftyThree SDK was made to integrate painlessly into your app and unlock powerful creative possibilities.
The FiftyThree SDK is designed to be easy to integrate into existing applications, allowing developers to quickly add support for the Pencil stylus. This opens up a range of possibilities for app developers, from creating new drawing and note-taking apps to enhancing existing ones with advanced stylus support. For example, educational apps can benefit from the precision and ease of use provided by the Pencil stylus, making it easier for students to take notes and draw diagrams. Graphic design apps can offer more advanced drawing tools, allowing artists to create detailed and intricate designs with ease.
Moreover, the SDK’s advanced touch classification can be particularly useful in apps that require precise input, such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications or medical apps where accurate annotations are crucial. The palm rejection feature ensures that users can work comfortably for extended periods without worrying about accidental touches interfering with their work.
