Pressure-sensitive drawing app makes iPad a drawing tablet like Bamboo.

The iPad’s lovely IPS panel doesn’t have pressure-sensitivity detection system. But yet people are still going over the edge to try making incredible things. By using a special capacitive stylus and a new concept app, the dudes over at Ten One Design is showing off to the whole world how good they’re at drawing on iPad.

“While we’re not quite sure how it works, the current theory states that the soft tip of the stylus expands like a brush when you press it down, generating a “larger press” that can be detected by the hooks in Ten One’s code — which they soon plan to share as a free software library (assuming Apple allows) with developers around the world.”

Check out how it works in the video below.
