There’s a version of remote working that artists have been promised for years: sit anywhere, plug in your tablet, and work exactly as if your main machine were right in front of you. To a degree, Wacom Bridge, the remote-working tech for its best drawing tablets, has nudged us there, and this month it gets a further boost from a new tech partnership.
So while we’re not quite there yet for seamless cloud art working that feels local, Wacom is still trying to make it happen, this time with a closer integration between Wacom Bridge and Arch Platform Technologies, a service that lets you run high-powered creative PCs in the cloud. The idea is simple: instead of relying on the computer on your desk, you log into a much more powerful machine over the internet, and then use your tablet as normal.
