ThinkPad Tablet - I wish to see a cursor of pen without touch

Hello,

 

I'm drawin' a picture by my ThinkPad Tablet.

To connect a draw line more easily, I desire to  see a cursor when a Pen still hovering (means without touch a panel).

 

I know that ThinkPad have N-Trig DuoSense touch panel, and I heared that it can detect Pen's location without touch.

 

Can I show it? How do I do for that?

If I can't do it, I hope to add such option on setting panel.

 

I did ask N-Trig, a developer of DuoSense, but they said, please ask Lenovo...

 

 

 

Sorry for my broken English and best regards,

I'm not sure if the hardware is capable of that. The digitizer can definitely detect pen proximity, but I'm not sure if it can sense (x,y) position without touch.

 

There is definitely no way to get the pen position data without touch from within an android app.

I think ICS has a capability for it, so yeah, we can only wait...
