Abstract
Tele-Board is a digital whiteboard system that helps creative teams working together over geographical and temporal distances. The nature of Tele-Board’s synchronized setup allows every connected partner from anywhere in the world to join in the action. Tele-Board is rooted in traditional metaphors, which are easy to implement and come naturally to the user. Additionally, it is possible to follow a common thread in the development of ideas from their inception to conclusion. With the History Browser, the path of creative development can be retraced, reiterated and resumed – from any point in time – a huge benefit in ordering work and reaching conclusions. In this article, we report on several situations and setups in which Tele-Board was used by different teams. We demonstrate how our software suite can be used with various hardware setups and show how well the tools work in practical application. Furthermore, we illustrate Tele-Board use by globally distributed student teams, in remote test settings, during a sustainability conference, and by teams who are primarily used to traditional whiteboards and pen and paper.
