Simulating tablet size

Steps

  • Find the dimensions of the device and the active area (the dimensions will be published online)

  • Cut out a piece of cardboard to the size of the tablet

  • Draw a rectangle on it to represent the active area

  • Try drawing on it

Example

Things to test

  • Does the active area give you enough space to draw?

  • How will you place the tablet relative to your keyboard?

  • Does it fit on your desk?

  • Especially for pen displays, hold it about half an arm's length away. How much does this prevent you from reaching other items on the desk?
