Is it a shameless plug if the tool you're working on addresses the very issues being discussed? At the risk of plugging... To all commenters on this thread: please check out https://sharetheboard.com https://sharetheboard.com Our app identifies and digitizes handwritten content from any analog surface (not just whiteboards) in real time, while ignoring obstructions. You can share via videoconference (screen sharing) or stream your content straight to recipients' browsers. Soon we will have fully-integrated videoconferencing. Desktop app now, Web version launching this/next week. Digital annotations will follow within another 1-2 weeks (allowing viewers to add to the board with their fingers or cursors). We are of the opinion that no digital look-alike can fully replicate a true writing experience. There is something... frictionless about using your shoulder/elbow/hand as nature intended when pouring content onto a surface at the speed of thought. The challenge, as we see it, is not to replicate that experience but to let tech do the heavy lifting: digitize the content and make it easy to share with other people/apps. Oh, and we believe your laptop/phone should suffice - no dedicated, wall-mounted hardware needed. We're very close to leaving beta. I'd love some feedback or questions from the power users on this thread. Thanks in advance.
