However, you can export whatever you draw in Explain Everything as vector graphics, and import it into whatever software you prefer for further processing. Therefore, I admit that my answer is not perfect.
Thus, you may not wish to use this particular drawing solution. Now, I realize that you may have some specialized software on the desktop, and that may be your whole reason for asking this question.
The device in this photo actually has en e-ink display, but in practice that has no significance, as it runs Android and is for all intents and purposes just an Android tablet with different display technology than most. Then I just collaborate with myself on both the desktop and the Android-device. The solution I found was to simply use a collaborative drawing app called Explain Everything" that runs on both desktop (Web) and Android (app). Also, there was usually considerable lag. However, there are some issues with cursor sensitivity, and (depending on which remote software you use) you usually have to make a custom "gesture" to draw. It does not solve it in 100% the way you had envisioned, but let me see if it helps you.Īt first I was thinking to use the Android device as a remote desktop control (for example, via TeamViewer of Chrome Remote Deksktop) for my computer, and then open drawing software on the desktop computer and control that using the stylus on the Android device. I had the exact same wish as you, and I eventually found a solution I was happy with. You'll never be satisfied with the results. Sure, you can use a touchscreen to draw and to create artwork, but asking it to replace a Wacom tablet is like asking finger-painting to replace the whole range of artists' paintbrushes. Samsung's Note series has a pretty advanced stylus, and it makes a nice drawing tool, but it still lacks the advanced features like angle sensitivity. It can't react to you hovering over it, to the natural pressure changes you get over the course of a stroke, or to the angle. You can wield the stylus like a calligraphy pen, an airbrush, or anything in between.Ī capacitive touchscreen such as you get on a Nexus 7 is designed to detect fat blobs like finger tips. A drawing tablet has a resolution of a fraction of a millimetre. The stylus is also sensitive to the angle you hold it at, and the tablet can detect when the stylus is hovering above the tablet, even with no contact. Drawing tablets use a stylus with one or two pressure-sensitive tips and several buttons. A touchscreen tablet is not like a Wacom tablet.
