Advanced paper emulation

An active pen-stylus that emulates a paper feeling arising from use of the active pen-stylus by a user on a display of the tablet device, comprising:

• a marker tip located near a proximal end of the active pen-stylus that receives pressure imparted to the active pen-stylus by the user engaging with the display;
• a writing shaft located adjacent to the marker tip near the proximal end of the active pen-stylus that receives the pressure from the marker tip;
• a force sensor located further from the proximal end than the writing shaft that receives the pressure from the writing shaft arising from use of the active pen-stylus by the user, the force sensor configured to convert a first portion of the pressure received from the writing shaft into an electronic signal;
• and
• a writing spring that receives a second portion of the pressure from the force sensor that deforms a physical shape of the writing spring, producing a physical reactionary force that emulates a conventional writing feeling by mimicking a displacement to force ratio between a conventional writing implement and a conventional writing surface, the physical reactionary force transmitted to the user via the force sensor, the writing shaft, and the marker tip.
