ugee Unveils ArtPlay Pad: EMR-Powered Creative Tablet Turns Children's 2D Sketches Into Physical 3D Works

Designed for the way today's youth create—anytime, anywhere, across any medium

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ugee, one of the leading digital hardware and software developers, announced the launch of ArtPlay Pad, a groundbreaking creative tablet tailored for young beginner creators and kids. Departing from one-size-fits-all adult-oriented devices, ArtPlay Pad reimagines the drawing tablet as a portable studio that turns doodles into dimensional designs. It includes a lifetime ibisPaint license, integration with Tripo AI for turning 2D sketches into 3D models, professional EMR pen technology delivering an authentic pen-on-paper feel, and a display with TÜV SÜD Low Blue Light Certification and AG-etched glass anti-glare for eye protection, more comfortable creative sessions.

"With the rapid advancement of creative tools in both hardware and software sciences, the younger generation has increasingly higher demands for diverse and varied forms of creative expression. Unlike most children's tablets that use capacitive pen technology, ugee has long focused on EMR pressure-sensitive pen technology for professional creatives, delivering a tactile pen-on-paper feel. Now we are applying this to serve children and DIY creators with a product that enables both paper-like drawing and digital software creation," said Amy Yuan, Global Brand Director of ugee.

"The ArtPlay Pad features EMR pen technology, broad software compatibility, and AG-etched glass anti-glare for eye health. We want creation to go beyond the mind—so imagination can be truly seen and touched. That is the original intention behind this product, designed to tackle three core challenges: the stroke barrier for a natural writing feel, the 2D-to-3D creative gap to keep the process engaging, and eye-care protection for healthier usage," she added.

Stroke Barrier — Glass screens feel slick and unresponsive, often discouraging beginners before they begin.

ArtPlay Pad counters this with 16K ultra-sensitive pressure powered by smart chip, and advanced EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) technology, paired with a paper-like anti-glare display and full palm rejection.The result: tactile friction that mirrors pencil on paper, preserving muscle memory and transforming the first stroke from a stumbling block into a confident start. And with access to a vast library of creative and educational apps via Google Play, young creators can explore endless possibilities—from digital painting and 3D modeling to animation and interactive learning—all at their fingertips.

2D-to-3D Barrier — Today's young creators think in volume and space, not just lines.

ArtPlay Pad breaks this barrier with a seamless workflow, powered by deeply integrated ibisPaint (ad-free education version with lifetime access) and Tripo AI. With a single tap, AI converts flat sketches into fully realized 3D models—not cold renders, but living extensions of the original drawing. Models can be exported directly to the ugee Funbox 3D Printer, turning digital designs into tangible creations. This end-to-end workflow embeds STEM learning at every step—from spatial reasoning during modeling to engineering principles during printing. Beyond creative play, 3D design helps children tackle school projects—building historical models, visualizing science concepts, or prototyping inventions—and even create practical tools like phone stands or organizers to help parents at home.

Eye-Care Barrier — Parents worry not just about how long kids stare at screens, but what it does to their eyes.

ArtPlay Pad shifts the conversation from duration to depth. The 12" 2K Eye-Care Display features a 16:9 aspect ratio, 16.7 million colors, full lamination, and anti-glare + anti-fingerprint coating—delivering vivid visuals indoors and out. With TÜV SÜD Low Blue Light Certification and AG-etched glass anti-glare technology, prolonged use causes less eye strain without compromising color accuracy, while reducing distracting reflections for a more comfortable viewing experience.

Premium Hardware That Powers Infinite Creativity

Packed with high-performance hardware, the ArtPlay Pad fuels non-stop creativity. It features 6GB RAM + 256GB expandable storage, holding 50,000+ sketches and hundreds of 3D models. The 7800 mAh battery delivers up to 18 hours of drawing or 12 hours of video playback with 30W fast charging, while the MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core chip ensures smooth performance across 3D tools, education apps, and HD videos. Immersive 360° quad-speaker audio, crisp 13MP rear and 8MP front cameras for calls and photo sharing, and an included adjustable silicone case with a stepless stand and stylus slot complete the experience. At just 7.4mm thin and 644g light, this slim tablet goes wherever inspiration takes you.

Launch and Availability

ArtPlay Pad is available starting September 15, 2026—timed to inspire young creators and reassure parents alike. The device comes with a suite of pre-installed creative apps, cloud-based sharing capabilities, and a protective case designed for on-the-go inspiration.

The 17,700-lumen lighting system combines long-range trail illumination with app-controlled pixel text, graphics and animations

DALLAS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolfbox, a leader in off-road dash cams and automotive electronics, introduces the new NomadPixel 5, the world's first programmable off-road pixel lighting system that brings customizable pixel displays to high-performance trail lights for SUVs and pickup trucks. Designed for off-road and overlanding enthusiasts, the system enables drivers to create text, graphics and animated content from their phones and display it outdoors with 8,850 raw lumens of illumination per light.

From September 15 to September 29, the NomadPixel 5 is available for presale from the Wolfbox website at an early-bird price of US$499 with the code NPLIGHT100. The official launch follows on September 30, when the system will be offered at its regular retail price of US$639.

Off-road lights have traditionally served only one purpose: visibility. With fixed beams, drivers have little opportunity to change how the lights look or what they display. NomadPixel 5 takes this familiar piece of trail equipment in a new direction. Each of the NomadPixel 5's two five-inch lights doubles as a programmable display, giving drivers a way to illuminate the road ahead, personalize their vehicles and share visible messages with others in their group, lighting up every moment of their trip.

The lights are controlled via the Wolfbox mobile app and can be configured independently. Users can choose from preset graphics, type their own text or draw an original design one pixel at a time. Messages and graphics can remain static, scroll across the display or flicker. Three animation speeds and four brightness settings (40%, 60%, 80% and 100%) provide further control over how the content appears.

The customization feature can be used in plenty of ways beyond the trail itself. Drivers might display a vehicle or club name at an off-road gathering, create graphics for a competition or celebration, or add a personal touch to an overlanding campsite. The content can be changed for each trip or occasion, without replacing the lights or installing a separate display.

In remote areas, the pixel displays can also serve as another form of visible communication. A driver who becomes separated from a group or gets stuck outside reliable mobile coverage can display "HELP" or "SOS" messages to attract attention from other off-roaders at a distance.

Beyond creative functions, NomadPixel 5 is a capable trail lighting system. Its two lights each produce 8,850 raw lumens, and the driving beam reaches 1 lux at 275 meters. Output levels can be adjusted to suit nighttime trails, campsites or group-driving conditions.

The NomadPixel 5 is also built for the weather and terrain that come with off-road travel. The lights carry an IP69K rating and use waterproof breather valves to protect against water, mud, dust and severe weather. They can operate in temperatures ranging from −40°F to 149°F (−40°C to 65°C).

ADC12 powder-coated die-cast aluminum housings, UV-coated polycarbonate panels and U-shaped stainless-steel mounting brackets add another layer of durability. The design has undergone 136 hours of salt-spray testing, while the LEDs have an estimated operating life of approximately 50,000 hours. Wolfbox backs NomadPixel 5 with a five-year warranty.

The system is designed for broad use across a wide range of off-road SUVs and pickup trucks, subject to individual mounting configurations. Amber and clear lens covers are included, allowing drivers to adapt the lights to changing conditions and preferences.
