I presume you mean the big white things with pen trackers, rather than the software whiteboard tools?
I've just bought some e-Beams and Mimio's for our 3 nodes at ANU, and will shortly have some students working on code to integrate them with perhaps wb/wbd/dlb or similar. I haven't seen a lot of use (Ok, any) of them in AG sessions, as a native digital source, only as something you point a camera at :-( so I'd like to fix that.
If anybody else is working in this space please let me know ASAP :-)
Our astronomers rated it as one of their 'must-haves' for their node, I imagine your engineers will be the same.
We might also look at hooking in SmartBoards down the track, but they're a lot more pricey.
Cheers,
Markus
