Abstract

A disclosed device method includes generating, by a first system, an image indicative of a position of a first object with respect to a second object; generating, by the first system, a first signal including the image and digital information corresponding to written information captured at the first system; and communicating the first signal from the first system to a second system for enabling display of the digital information and the image at the second system.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems that can be used synergistically, and more particularly to techniques for providing location information about these systems in order to enhance synergistic effects performed using such systems. Background technique [0002] Interactive whiteboard (IWB) systems, also known as electronic whiteboard systems, offer several advantages over traditional chalk and blackboard systems. In an IWB system, the user's writing is converted into digital information (also referred to as a digital representation of the writing), which is then projected and displayed on a display interface of the IWB system (like a whiteboard). Multiple such IWB systems can be communicatively coupled and participate in a collaborative session through a communication network, such as the Internet. For example, a first IWB system and a second IWB system remote from the first IWB system may participate in a collaborative session such ...
