Wacom web browser plugin?

Question

I found this web page which describes in detail a browser plugin that exposes Wacom tablet features such as pressure sensitivity in JavaScript. Unfortunately, the download link is dead. Does this product exist?

Answer 1

Pressure sensitivity is now exposed by the browser's Pointer Events API for all supported tablets (not just Wacom). Pointer events such as onpointermove will contain a "pressure" field that ranges between 0.0 and 1.0.

Pointer Events are supported by Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer (10+), Microsoft Edge and Safari (13+) on macOS and Windows 8+ (Windows 7 doesn't provide pressure information). See:

Also, someone has written a Linux plugin using NPAPI: https://github.com/ZaneA/WacomWebPlugin
