This reminded me of the scene in Amelie where she makes a video montage for the glass man. Really interesting and random topics.

This is really fun! Reminds me of early internet days when there was fun discovery sites like this.

A bit. One thing I thought was interesting is when you are at a whiteboard and sharing digitally, you have to turn around and look at the camera all the time. It would be interesting if you mounted an ipad on the whiteboard so you could see the people you are talking to while also having the whiteboard shared over screenshare. Having an angled camera that would allow for the whiteboard to be picked up would then make sure it wasn’t blocked. Almost like the old overhead projectors where you were always facing the audience and the material you are writing.

That is a good question. Since whiteboards are intended to be ephemeral, the need for a constant data link isn’t compelling (ex: like the notebooks that automatically transcribe to a cloud service). Something I haven’t done yet is fully utilized the magnetic aspect of my whiteboard by having precanned magnets for db design, mocks or data flow. That may be a next evolution for my use, but even that probably won’t get used as much as I’d expect as I’m not at the whiteboard every day, but more like a few times a week.

If there was a way to make intangible tangible on the whiteboard, that may be interesting. Like a way to have magnets that are linked to a digital object so as you moved around and marked up, it could be reflected digitally too…that being said, it is more of a novelty and not sure it would be compelling enough for a paid feature.

I’ll think about this the next time I use my whiteboard.

Correct, only one person needs to draw.

The hard thing with digital is the spatial aspect. I like a big canvas to write on as opposed to the feeling of being confined to a screen. Note that even if the screen increased, it still is more cumbersome. I still use digital drawing programs for creating artwork so I’m not opposed to using a digital medium for drawing.

The other aspect is it allows you to step away from screens altogether and approach a problem in a more tangible way. I like standing in front of a whiteboard and taking in the flow if data or mockup and tweaking. In these instances, I’m not sharing my camera, it is purely a thought process for myself.

I’ve mainly been the presenter. I’ve been on the viewing end before too and it is a lot easier to convey a quick concept. As far as transferring to other tools, I’ll typically transcribe the notes onto my computer if it is easy to type or take a picture and have it on my computer for reference. I haven’t had a need for a shared whiteboard experience yet and favor annotating images/files instead

I still use a whiteboard every week. I even have my laptop on a swivel stand so I can point my camera at it to share. I have an iPad where I could replicate a digital experience, but it isn’t the same. A whiteboard is still an important tool for brainstorming, mocking interfaces, and walking through logic for me.

The reason I’ve seen is that the domain on the email can be associated with the broader company account in CRM systems. This is used for lead routing, identifying an expanding interest within an org, along with getting more info about the company through lookup services for again lead routing based on size and location.
