Episode notes
Early Digital Drawing Experiences
- Andy Matuschak recalls using Wacom digitizers as a child, which separated hand movement from the screen.
- This disconnect felt different from paper and even from emissive screens, highlighting the unique experience of each medium.
Persistent Audio Notes
- Persistent audio input/output devices offer a new interaction mode, enabling note-taking during activities like walking.
- Audio notes can help overcome editing instincts, allowing for freer idea generation.
