- Additional information
- Whiteboards are a key tool in early software design, but are ephemeral; important information is lost in moving on from the whiteboard. The empirically-grounded ‘Calico’ electronic whiteboard embodied relevant innovations: maintaining history, re-use of sketch elements, remote collaboration. The 'Calico' description and its evaluation, published at the premier ACM CHI conference, led to a spin-off: SketchTogether (https://sketchtogether.com). Trainer et al. (2016) cite Calico as an exemplar of a system to support the transition from face-to-face collaborative settings to remote collaboration. Calico has been deployed by teams in industry, e.g., by airspace designers at NATS (Innovation Champion, details on request).
