You can make an awesome face, but...you can't make a decent Smiley?

Just put a piece of glass on top of the screen or something. The tablet doesn't register if the pen touches the active area, just where it is over it, while the pen has a pressure sensor sending signals when it's being pressed.

Is there anything out there to protect the screen?

Not too shabby considering that the price difference between this DIY and a real Cintiq can get you a legal copy of Photoshop.
Hopefully something gets done about those exposed circuits though. It'll be interesting if you find a good solution to tidy up the clutter a bit.

wow, way to split hairs douche.

lol thats not a homemade cintiq. its a homemade tablet maybe but cintiq are much different unless your using the intous 3 technology.
-
lmao! the shadows make it seems that way, but i doubt it
-

lol just kidding
nice job thow

i suggest you get something to put over the screen so you dont break it when u put pressure on it but a genius!!
for those who use tablets and cant stand not being able to see the screen as ur drawing, get a piece of paper and an inking pen (provided by wacom) and do it like that...then u can see what ur doing whithout hving to look at the screen ever 4 seconds :)

get some thin Plexiglas fool ur ruining that screen lol.
Ok, firstly - I'm aware that putting a pen on the screen damages it. Thank you to all those young Einsteins who pointed that out. A gold star for you. As it says in the title, it was an initial TEST - a proof of concept. I had planned to put a clear plastic cover over the screen.
Secondly, it's a Wacom Intuos placed underneath an LCD screen.
A Wacom Intuos has pressure sensitivity.
It works exactly like a Wacom Intuos. Get it?
Thirdly, I'm aware it'd damage the screen in the long-term.

To everyone worried about the screen: The device in this video isn't actually *finished*. This was just an initial test with the bare components to see if the concept works. My plan was to build a wooden enclosure with a clear acrylic sheet over the screen. Never got around to it, though :P I just made this proof-of-concept and then lost interest... I s'pose I'll finish it one day ;)
