Active Electrostatic AES pen tech

Overview

Wacom also invented AES technology. It works in a fundamentally different way from EMR.

There are several versions of AES: 1,2,and 3.

We believe AES 3.0 is on its way but we know little about it's performance or whether it will be seen in drawing tablets.

Related tech

We believe Apple Pencil tech is very similar to AES.
