WritLarge: Ink Unleashed by Unified Scope, Action, & Zoom

WritLarge is a prototype system from Microsoft Research for the 84″ Microsoft Surface Hub, a large electronic whiteboard supporting both pen and multi-touch input. WritLarge allows creators to unleash the latent expressive power of ink in a compelling manner. Using multitouch, the user can simply frame a portion of their “whiteboard” session between thumb and forefinger, and then act on such a selection (such as by copying, sharing, organizing, or otherwise transforming the content) using the pen wielded by the opposite hand. This approach demonstrates how pen and touch inputs complement one another and afford completely new—and completely natural—ways of using freeform content to “ink at the speed of thought” on Surface devices.
