Maybe a large format so you would left click and hold to move the board from side to side and up/down. I don't know how it would be done, but it could be neat. Oh, I heard google is my friend! http://www.scriblink.com/ http://dabbleboard.com/draw http://www.skrbl.com/ http://www.imaginationcubed.com/ I've been in a cave for a while :-) Looks like it's been done. I haven't vetted any of these, but they have possibility! Mike

Adapt a standard HDTV display with a touch sensitive surface and a drawing program, and you have a whiteboard/telestrator for the conference room! Charlie

A static electronic screen and mouse (or worse, touchpad) doesn't have the same eye-brain-arm connection that a whiteboard does. There is something about drawing in person that is orders of magnitude more plastic than anything on a computer. I can't think while manipulating pixels, but I can think while writing. When I wanted to do a complete layout of this circuit, I did it on a full sheet of newsprint. Old crummy stuff, it ain't vellum, but it was on hand. Then I put it on the computer (in A4 size sections). http://myweb.msoe.edu/williamstm/Images/EV_Paper_Draft.jpg Tim |
