  Pen pressure is an input channel typically available in tablet pen device. To
date, little attention has been paid to the use of pressure in the domain of
graphical interaction, its usage largely limited to drawing and painting
program, typically for varying brush characteristic such as stroke width,
opacity and color. In this paper, we explore the use of pressure in 3D curve
drawing. The act of controlling pressure using pen, pencil and brush in real
life appears effortless, but to mimic this natural ability to control pressure
using a pressure sensitive pen in the realm of electronic medium is difficult.
Previous pressure based interaction work have proposed various signal
processing techniques to improve the accuracy in pressure control, but a
one-for-all signal processing solution tend not to work for different curve
types. We propose instead a framework which applies signal processing
techniques tuned to individual curve type. A neural network classifier is used
as a curve classifier. Based on the classification, a custom combination of
signal processing techniques is then applied. Results obtained point to the
feasibility and advantage of the approach.
