EMR™ (Electro-Magnetic Resonance)

We originally developed this unique technology for our professional tablet and display devices to enable a precise and speedy pen input with highly accurate pressure sensitivity. The result is a natural pen-on-paper-like feel on each writing surface. We call it "Wacom feel IT technologies".

The pen is powered by the electro-magnetic field that is generated by the EMR sensor under the display. That allows for a cordless and battery-free pen with a high degree of freedom in both usage and pen design, such as the one which can be easily stored in a smartphone.

Wacom Ink Technologies

In the digital world, ink is more flexible and powerful than ever before. Our vision for the digital age is an enriched ink that carries semantic meaning, context and biometric identity. The foundation for this universal ink is the Wacom Ink Layer Language. In short: WILL™.

Together with the developer community we use WILL to create ink experiences for the future.

Wacom Ink Technologies include:

• 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 enables an unlimited number of use cases.
• A family of SDKs that developers can use to quickly and easily utilize the power of WILL digital ink within their applications on any platform, using any pen, stylus or touch-enabled device.
