SHANGHAI

TOKYO

Finally on 18th November, we participated at the event in Tokyo where there was a panel discussion set up on stage with our members E Ink Corporation, Fujitsu, Montblanc, and Samsung. The talk was about the evolution of writing and drawing with analog and digital ink. Do the worlds of analog and digital ink complement and interact with each other – even go hand in hand? We wanted to dive into the diversity of ink behaviors and see how analog ink influences and inspires our digital world. The informative and interesting talk was accompanied by an onstage performance of Japanese traditional calligraphy.

 

We would like to thank our members for being part of the event and supporting our vision to build up communities and platforms to bring analog and digital together and develop meaningful experiences for the users!
