The Apple Pencil Pro casts contextual shadows based on which tool you have selected
A new video of the Apple Pencil Pro has surfaced, highlighting a nifty little feature that showcases Apple’s commitment to detail.
But those weren’t the only features that popped up, either. The Apple Pencil Pro now casts contextual digital shadows, too.
X user Nicolas Alvarez rooted around in the PencilKit framework and found ten 3D models that Apple created for the feature. While it is a relatively small feature, it’s notable because it offers visual confirmation of which tool a user has selected.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Apple’s “alternative tips” for the Apple Pencil, either. In January, a patent popped up showing “computer-generated tool heads,” which may surface as a new feature for the Apple Vision Pro.
