  • Off-The-Shelf Stylus: Using XR Devices for Handwriting and Sketching on Physically Aligned Virtual Surfaces
    TECHNOLOGY AND CODE published: 04 June 2021 doi: 10.3389/frvir.2021.684498 Off-The-Shelf Stylus: Using XR Devices for Handwriting and Sketching on Physically Aligned Virtual Surfaces Florian Kern*, Peter Kullmann, Elisabeth Ganal, Kristof Korwisi, René Stingl, Florian Niebling and Marc Erich Latoschik Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Group, Informatik, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany This article introduces the Off-The-Shelf Stylus (OTSS), a framework for 2D interaction (in 3D) as well as for handwriting and sketching with digital pen, ink, and paper on physically aligned virtual surfaces in Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VR, AR, MR: XR for short). OTSS supports self-made XR styluses based on consumer-grade six-degrees-of-freedom XR controllers and commercially available styluses. The framework provides separate modules for three basic but vital features: 1) The stylus module provides stylus construction and calibration features. 2) The surface module provides surface calibration and visual feedback features for virtual-physical 2D surface alignment using our so-called 3ViSuAl procedure, and Edited by: surface interaction features. 3) The evaluation suite provides a comprehensive test bed Daniel Zielasko, combining technical measurements for precision, accuracy, and latency with extensive University of Trier, Germany usability evaluations including handwriting and sketching tasks based on established Reviewed by: visuomotor, graphomotor, and handwriting research.

  • Gateway-To-Writing-Developing-Handwriting.Pdf
    1 of 8 The National Strategies Early Years Gateway to writing – Developing handwriting Developing handwriting Handwriting develops as children develop increased control over their bodies and a desire to communicate through mark making. The Practice Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage pages 61–62 sets out some basic elements of the developmental pathway that leads from babies playing with their own fingers and toes to the early learning goal for five-year-olds: Use a pencil and hold it effectively to form recognisable letters, most of which are correctly formed. This guidance is designed to provide some additional support for practitioners working with children in Reception classes. What should I teach about handwriting in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)? In order that children eventually acquire a legible, fluent and fast handwriting style, they need to develop skills including: good gross and fine motor control a recognition of pattern a language to talk about shapes and movements the main handwriting movements involved in the three basic letter shapes as exemplified by: l, c, r. What is the difference between gross and fine motor control? Children can develop and extend their gross and fine motor control through much of the effective practice, planning and resourcing for Physical Development recommended in the Practice Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage, pages 92–105. Gross motor control is the term used to describe the development of controlled movements of the whole body, or limbs (arms or legs). Of particular importance in relation to handwriting is the development of good posture and balance.

  • MAKING INK for Colonial Era Letter Writing
    MAKING INK FROM WALNUTS For Colonial Era Letter Writing Presented by BOB VAN CLEEF of the North River Railway WRITING A LETTER • Most letters were written with a quill pen in the 17th through to the mid-20th century in both England and America. • The paper used in the American colonies was locally produced from [recycled] silk or cotton rags, mixed with water, pounded into a pulp, squeezed, then dried. • Once the letter was written, it was folded, sealed and sent on its way via Royal Crown Mail. • Yes, it was England that provided couriers to deliver mail between the colonies before the American Revolution. TYPES OF INKS • Early settlers brought only a very limited supply of ink from England or other parts of the world. • The first “American” inks were made from Charcoal or Berries which often faded over time. • A few simple household ingredients were gradually added to the mix to prevent mold and fading but the result was still a poor product. • Something better was needed. GALL INKS • Gall inks, used earlier in Europe, were also known in the colonies and they did not fade. • To the contrary, they were acidic and were found to actually ‘eat’ through the paper it was written on thus destroying the document. • Also, the chemistry was much more complex and beyond the average untrained homeowner. WALNUT INKS • Inks made from nuts, especially the black walnut, were much easier to make and worked well on paper. • England had to go East to Europe and Asia for their nuts but America had the whole East Coast full of Black Walnut trees that made excellent ink.

  • Handwriting Policy
    SACRED HEART CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL & NURSERY Handwriting Policy MISSION STATEMENT This is our school Together we worship Together we learn Together we belong With the love of God, our dreams and ambitions come true. Reviewed and Amended: September 2019 To Be Reviewed: September 2021 (unless required sooner) At Sacred Heart we believe that handwriting contributes to an individual's confidence, sense of achievement and pride in their own ability to produce the highest standards of presentation. It is therefore essential in realising the school's mission that every child works to their potential, that they are given maximum opportunity to develop accurate techniques and to communicate in a legible style. Purpose Cursive handwriting is a life long skill, where children begin with the initial writing experiences to gain hand control until they progress to demonstrate their own individuality in a fluent style. We acknowledge links between handwriting and spelling and encourage all children to improve their spelling strategies by joining letters. We further consider development of cursive handwriting to be an aid for completing an extended piece of writing where a comfortable style is required. All members of staff are responsible for recognising their contribution to helping children develop a fluent style, especially in setting examples. Directed handwriting tasks should be short, focused assignments, with opportunities for practice given through a cross-curricular approach. All handwritten records should be considered opportunities to present cursive handwriting in our adopted style. In particular, parents are requested to support their child's development by endorsing the school's policy through activities at home.

  • Pens Pencils and Grips
    Pens Pencils and grips HAND HUGGERS All the different pencils and pens available have oversized triangular shafts to help develop a comfortable and correct grip for little hands. There are a variety of pencil pens and colouring pencils available. The Hand Hugger writing pen - chunky, hard-wearing nib gives slight resistance to the paper so that it gives greater control when first learning to write. FABER-CASTELL GRIP PENCILS Triangular in shape with rubber "soft-grip" dots to help a correct and comfortable grip. Worth trying instead of pencil grip to prompt finger placement. STABILO MOVE EASY ROLLERBALL PEN AND PENCIL (RIGHT HANDED AND LEFT HANDED) The pen and pencil have been made with a special left handed and a right hand version with the grip moulded for a comfortable fit in the writing hand. Stabilo’s Move Easy rollerball pen glides over the paper and it can be erased with a fountain pen eraser just like normal fountain pen ink. Especially useful where fountain/ink pens are expected in High School. Children’s Occupational Therapy Service Pens Pencils and grips YOROPEN BALLPOINT PEN OR PENCIL The following features are unique to this pen: 1. FINGER SUPPORT: Prevents fingers from slipping down towards the pen tip. The change of angle allows comfortable and natural writing. It also presents the nib at a better angle for smooth ink flow. It requires very little pressure and reduces writing strain. 2. VISUAL SPACE: It is easier to see what you are writing because your fingers do not obstruct your field of vision. This is of particular benefit to left-handed writers.
