"PVI’s new Touch EPD uses the innovative “force sensing” touch technology. In this technology, several force sensors are placed under the e-paper display. When a user touches the display, proprietary software calculates the location and intensity of the touch with input from the sensors."
From this description...
taken from the press release... it doesn't sound like PVI is exploiting Wacom technology.
