Can I recognise (graphic tablet) Pen Pressure in Javascript?

Is there any way to recognise pen pressure using javascript. Preferably I don't want to make any use of Flash and try get this done as pure JS.

EDIT: okay I realised that it is kind of possible for Wacom tablets as they come with software that can work with their javascript api to make it possible (demos). But it's no good for people with Trust tablets or any other brand... So no good really.

Any body know how to do it in C# if not JS?

Solution

  • Yes - if the user has a Wacom tablet installed, then their browser will have a plugin for it that you can access. http://www.wacomeng.com/web/index.html
