Maybe you’re like us and you like to sketch on real paper? And maybe you want to get said sketch into a vector file? Enter the iSKN Slate.

Launched with a successful 2013 Kickstarter campaign—which reached its goal in 14 hours and went on to raise over $350k— the Slate allows you to use any pencil or pen to draw on paper and create a digital version on a connected device.

We check out the giant PCB that powers this and make sense of how they are using magnets and magnetometers to triangulate your chosen implement. All the way at the end we pontificate about what we could make with a giant PCB filled with magnetometers.
