High-tech pen allows handwriting identification

Posted on May 5, 2005

High-tech pen allows handwriting identification – ZDNet UK News:

Signing on the dotted line could soon become a way to digitally authenticate oneself, according to one company that has started selling a USB-connected pen that they claim can identify a user from the pressure and velocity of their handwriting.

ZDNet had problems with their pen however:

When demonstrated to ZDNet UK, the pen failed to work for the first two attempts of registering and authenticating, but the company insisted that this was uncommon.

“Occasionally there are a couple of glitches,” the assistant said. But generally it’s an excellent way of identifying yourself.”
