Wacom Digital Ink - what is WILLâ„¢?


Heidi Wang, VP Product Management & Business Development at Wacom, explains WILLâ„¢ the new standard for digital ink. WILLâ„¢ (Wacom Ink Layer Language) is a specific standard for digital ink, which is created and stored in a special format because a digital pen creates more data than other input devices such as a mouse or keyboard, including pressure, tilt, and rotation. WILLâ„¢ comprises: - An algorithm that creates a beautiful visual representation of ink, which motivates people to use it. - A file format specialized for digital ink (similar to .pdf or .doc), the structure of which allows for the storage of metadata that enable an unlimited number of use cases. - A family of SDKs that developers can use to quickly and easily utilize the power of WILLâ„¢ digital ink within their applications using any pen, stylus or touch-enabled device, on any platform.
