Enhancing Web Apps with Pointer Events

Enhancing Web Apps with Pointer Events

Pointer Events unlock advanced interaction possibilities in web apps, from stylus pressure to tilt detection. I explore how this API can elevate creative and functional user experiences.

Web application features you may not know: Pointer Events

When using a computer, everyone naturally thinks of a keyboard and a mouse. However, the use of a stylus is no longer unusual. Whether on a tablet, on a laptop with a touch screen, or by using a drawing tablet.

Pointer events can be used to control more than just clicks or movements across the screen. The pressure or tilt of the stylus can also be read out. This not only enables applications in a creative environment. It generally opens up another dimension in how you can interact with an application.
