The SMK Wireless Input Pen has a built-in triaxial acceleration sensor and Bluetooth function. The sensor detects the positional information and recognizes the inputted characters. The characters are wirelessly transmitted to a monitor via Bluetooth. The maximum transmission distance is reportedly about 10m. The pen can be used in place of a laser pointer in sales presentations. According to SMK, it is the world's first pen-type device that can transmit characters written in the air to a monitor and the company is currently applying for a patent. wireless_pen.jpg
