It is one of those simple, elegant ideas that can't really escape the lab due to hardware limitations.
Until we have transparent OLED displays or 3D cameras that extend their field of view all the way to the screen surface, it will be nearly impossible for common people to have an interface similar to that
- sitkack 7y agotwo video cameras and two cheap projectors should be enough to both track and capture a whiteboard marker and project the remote drawings. If you skimp and just do an overhead camera and projector, it still easily subtract your hand and dynamically draw the path for the remote viewer (with a slight 2-5 second lag).
- vanderZwan 7y agoThere are hacks around it, yes. Also, we both know that your usage of "easily" is equivalent to when the maths book says "trivial and left as an exercise for the reader" ;) (that is to say, technically easy if you have the right domain knowledge. Having the right domain knowledge is not completely trivial though, even as a programmer)
