smoke coming out of it. The
inventing finally
completed, test
runs
were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the
2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two
transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and
New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it
copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other
potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow
people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange
between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when
legal documents are used.
“It's really fun,” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present
for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can't shake hands with the
author, but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from
a regular book signing.”
The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable. Atwood
has received criticism from authors who think she's trying to end book
tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never
got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”
