The mission of the Survey since 1924, in partnership with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, includes the facsimile documentation of reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions on ancient Egyptian monuments through photography and precise recording techniques (line drawings, digital imaging, etc.), as well as appropriate conservation and restoration work, in an effort to preserve the cultural heritage of Pharaonic civilization.

Their whole software ecosystem is built around this principle. On the other hand though, it is quite conflicting to interact with a touch screen using a stylus, your finger and a mouse – all at the same time.Īpple’s approach to its tablet line is still touch-first. It is also hard to say no to the promise of multifunctional devices, especially when the alternatives tend to get lost because of their size.

On the one hand, now, with iPadOS’ full mouse/trackpad support, it is only natural for accessory makers to move into this space. When you think about the concept, you might either go with “this is a genius idea” or “why would I need that”?! Or, in my case, both.
