Users can then synchronise the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phonebook.
The feature is integrated with over 50 apps, including Google Drive, Trello, and Evernote.
Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule.
Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and pad.
The product also uses regular ink cartridges.
Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper.
A key component of the Nuwa system is miniaturisation.
To digitise the text, the system uses three tiny cameras with 2mm x 2mm sensors.
All the data is then processed directly on the gear.
As for the newfunding, the source remains somewhat mysterious.
The gear is nowavailable for pre-order.
