The Nuwa Pen incorporates three tiny cameras to transcribe what you write (on paper!) to the app, acting as a digital solution for those who prefer using a pen and notebook.
Excellent point but how would you do it without an app? Even if it was Open Source and for PC it would need to be sending data to a PC to put together as a legible note. The pen itself is too underpowered to do that all on its own, the pen is just the data capturing tool. It would be a similar situation for Open Source, too, an end to development could mean an end to the devices continued usefulness.
Having the app being the thing that makes something useful is a red flag. If the app/company dies your gadget is e-waste.

The difference is, if the app were open-source someone could continue developing it.
If it’s proprietary, you’re shit out of luck.
