Wacom’s interactive pen displays
were adopted as the most
intuitive and flexible interface tool
available. More than 100 pen
displays were installed on all
seats and form the centerpiece in
the Advanced Concept Teaching
Space “ACTS” of the University
of Queensland in Australia.
The lecture space offers such innovative teaching services that partici-
pants can communicate via pictures and words, take notes and review
them using interactive pen displays. New lecture styles will continue to
be developed using the futuristic system described in this case study. In
Japan, about 2,600 educational institutions have already adopted a total
of 80,000 units of Wacom’s pen tablets and they are enjoying a high
standard of learning using our tools.
The French Government recog-
nized the importance of digital
signature technology and the law
was enacted which authorizes
documents to be signed with a
digital signature. In the launch
ceremony of the digital notary
document system which realizes
a totally paperless process, the
first sample was signed on
Wacom’s Cintiq12WX.
The digital notary document system makes it possible to simplify and
speed up procedures in legal process. For example, while French notaries
had to autograph each legal sheet of about 40 pages in the previous
notary system, the new system needs just one digital signature for one
notary document.
Furthermore, notaries and other legal professions expect that electronic
signatures will contribute to saving paper and improving information
security.
The first digital notary document was signed on
an interactive pen display in France.
