Quote - That technology already exists. It's been in development for quite a while actually. Good luck affording it tho. lol. I haven't heard the most recent notes on it but yeah, gloves that you can feel the digital clay, a pen that works on an arm that gives your hand real-world resistance, etc. As far as I know it's the kind of tech that only big scale companies currently have tho. But give it some time, I'm sure wacom will come up with an affordable equivalent.

I'd be perfectly happy with a Cintiq, as soon as I can afford one. Right now I just have a very old graphire 4. The rubber grip on the pen turned to sticky goo long ago so I wiped it off, but it still does the job for me.

There is definitely some cool stuff going on in human device interface design for sure... can't wait for more to filter down... for artistic stuff having manual input (with the hands) is a good way to work I think... and will probably continue to be important...

...but there's also an increasing amount of this sort of thing being developed:
