“…It is our goal to support this way of working also for geographically dispersed teams. The application should retain working modes of the analog world as closely as possible [13]. Additionally, the system shall have all advantages of a digital solution, as for example saving whiteboard states and continuing at another place of work.…”

In this paper, we present a concept for developing applications that allow users to work synchronously together while being able to use asynchronous features, such as work resumption from any point in time. Therefore, we formulate abstract requirements for a protocol realizing the introduced approach. Furthermore, an architecture for deployment is outlined. We show three different applications -all realizing the proposed method. An evaluation summarizes the drawbacks and advantages of the approach.The introduced concept should show up a practical solution especially to sufficiently store collaboration processes. By proving the combination of synchronous and asynchronous features into one application to fulfill basic user needs, it could be an efficient way for applications realizing two working modes, which mostly have been addressed separately in previous solutions.

“…ClearBoard [15] is one of the most inspiring setups that combines face-to-face conversation and shared drawing activities into one screen. Based on the ideas of ClearBoard, Gumienny et al developed Tele-Board [12]. Tele-Board features video-and data-conferencing by overlaying the transparent content of an interactive whiteboard over the full-screen rear or side video view of the remote collaborators.…”

“…In current solutions, the video image of a geographically distributed user and the shared workspace are separated resulting in a cumbersome collaboration. Systems such as [20,12] demonstrate that superimposing the life-sized video of a remote user on top of the shared content can improve the cooperation. These related solutions mainly focus on 2D video images, showing a rear-view of the distributed participants.…”

This paper presents 3D-Board, a digital whiteboard capable of capturing life-sized virtual embodiments of geographically distributed users. When using large-scale screens for remote collaboration, awareness for the distributed users' gestures and actions is of particular importance. Our work adds to the literature on remote collaborative workspaces, it facilitates intuitive remote collaboration on large scale interactive whiteboards by preserving awareness of the full-body pose and gestures of the remote collaborator. By blending the front-facing 3D embodiment of a remote collaborator with the shared workspace, an illusion is created as if the observer was looking through the transparent whiteboard into the remote user's room. The system was tested and verified in a usability assessment, showing that 3D-Board significantly improves the effectiveness of remote collaboration on a large interactive surface.

“…Although we designed Tele-Board to be used with digital whiteboard hardware, and ideally with an integrated videoconferencing for deictic references [9], it was very important to us that it could be used with normal computers as well. In the following section, we introduce Tele-Board and the TeleBoard features that were most relevant for the team of our study.…”

Creative ways of working with whiteboards and sticky notes are growing in popularity even in global companies. However, digital tools for enabling these ways of working, especially for geographically distributed teams, have still not been adopted in these companies. We present Tele-Board, a webbased digital whiteboard and sticky note system and describe how it was used in a large company at three locations. From system log data and interviews recorded after three months of use, we found that idea generation and feedback collection can be facilitated if a system offers real-time synchronous editing as well as asynchronous input. Interestingly, the users who were not located at the company's headquarters regarded the tool as very beneficial and used it more than their colleagues at the headquarters. We provide a detailed analysis of the study and important points for fostering the adoption of creative tools in large companies.
