Sensitive pen 2.0

Present research activity at Université Grenoble Alpes: Sensitive Pen 2.0 in collaboration with Interface Human Machine community
Writing is first and foremost movement. Beyond the written message, movement also makes it possible to inscribe subjectivity in the form of writing, adding a singular presence through this sensitive manifestation. Today’s digital pens, like our Sensitive Pen 2.0, are classic pens but with inside sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) to record movement well beyond the trace. The first applications are in the field of learning to write and detecting disorders such as dysgraphia (Ana Phelippeau’s thesis supervised by Joël Chevrier, defended in 2024 at Université Paris Cité). This project focuses on the sensitive manifestations of this recording of movement, notably through sound. Writing is the most sophisticated gesture shared by the greatest number of people.
Our hypothesis is that Sensitive Pen 2.0 should make it possible to control sounds, and thus to have a personal and sensitive expression akin to the musical practice of an instrument.
