Lenovo unveils laptops with touchpads that can be used as graphics tablet with stylus support
Acer isn’t the only company that introduced a new laptop at CES that has a touchpad so large that the company figured you might want to use it as a graphics tablet. Like the new Acer Swift 16, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition 15 inch and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition 16 inch laptops hav a large haptic touchpad with support for pressure-sensitive pen input, allowing you to write or draw on […]

Reflecting some more on the Sketchpad & ECS parts of this talk: SideFX Houdini organizes all geometry data in similar vertical silos of points, vertices, edges, faces, prims, each with component IDs, each with its own group of native and user-defined attribs, and with similar powerful "omniscient" visibility/access from anywhere. That structure makes VEX SOPs akin to "systems" in an ECS setup and the handling/scripting itself very fun & powerful. The GUI also provides spreadsheet views of the geometry (again similar to e.g. what FLECS provides for debugging). Considering the age of Houdini, I think this approach is notable...
Blender's BMesh Radial Mesh implementation[1] is more traditional OOP structured, but the core idea of "discs" (aka bi-directional circular lists) of pointers to vertices & edges now seems somewhat relevant to some Sketchpad ideas too. Also a reminder that I really need to find/make time to update & release my own mesh implementation (from 2018) combining ideas from both Houdini & BMesh... It's already been a year (again) since I last talked about & touched it... 😱
