(more on that category here!)Ġ3 – For those who love sketching and note-taking on paper Livescribe+ app works with the Livescibe 3 smart pen. Now back to the heart of this category: apps for sketching-directly on your iPad! There are many apps in this category and again we are going to be selective, choosing the ones we feel are the better apps that architects might really enjoy, assuming they have found a stylus they use and love. (see the article listed above for more information). In essence, a digital pen talks to your iPad using Bluetooth and transfers knowledge of the pen’s head position relative to digital paper all through an app called Livescribe+app. Instead, using a special digital pen and digital paper you can draw within a notebook and what you draw appears magically on your iPad’s screen in real-time. The first thing we want to talk about is the Livescribe 3 digital pen with its all important “dot paper.” Now it is no longer necessary to actually draw on the glass surface of your iPad.
