ABSTRACT:
A system and method for enabling remote conferencing between conference participants involves the use of one or more forms that support interaction with a computer system or network. Each form is printed on sheet material such as paper and includes coded data that allows it to be used to interact with the computer system via a sensing device operated by a user. The system and method can be employed by geographically distributed participants to communicate graphical ideas via a shared ‘whiteboard’ using interactive surface media while engaged in a telephone conference. Every time a participant adds a modification or a new diagram to the whiteboard, the other participants can be provided with a printed copy of the updated page.
