gizmodo.com: On the heels of its Windows 8 and Android tablets, Wacom just announced a new sleeker and brighter Intuos. The new models are geared less toward professionals, and more toward everyday folk looking to draw and sketch on their computer.
Human computer interaction has taken such a huge leap in the past decade but it still seems that we run into problems of interaction with artists. These tablets are really nothing revolutionary and does little to help the tactile link between artist and computer. As we have relied more and more on Photoshop and other image editing software we have not been able to isolate and solve the problem of getting the organic link between artist and software. Maybe that is a problem that might go away as technology becomes more and more pervasive in the fine arts world and as artists grow up using programs and interfaces with less organic feels. These are cool toys and may be useful for some people but it does not seem like a large leap in the technology.
I agree with Luke that maybe the line between artist and technology will become thinner as time progresses, but as for now it looks like these new pads are kind of like the release of iPhones. It happens rather frequently with what seems like small changes at every release. I personally have never worked on a pad like this, but I can't imagine the contact between myself and this pad would be just as organic as the contact I would have with a paper and pencil. I'm sure that one day technology and art will be more hand in hand, but for now I'm sticking with my sketchbook.
This article just shows me that we are not far from a time where students will be learning to do most of the stuff that we still do by hand in a very different way. The Wacom tablet is a great thing, but I definitely think that art and technology are moving in a direction where the lines between them become blurred. I agree with Luke that this is something cool, but it definitely doesn't seem like a HUGE leap in technology. Even though this process feels much less organic to me, I certainly can appreciate a good computer software/tablet to try something in a different manner!
Its really good to know about that some facts and other related and highlighted points mentioned here are quite considerable and to the point as well, would be so far better idea to look for more of these kind for efficient results of your field of business.
