i'm wondering how would this integration look? would the mimios (i presume you
mean the large wall mounted ones) be an input device to be rendered on the
computer screen via wdb or the equivalent? if so, only the local audience gets
the advantage of the full size whiteboard. i suppose smaller graphics tablets
could be used instead as individual input devices; and these are just perhaps
more convient than drawing with the mouse directly into wb. while all these
scenarios would work, i guess i'm thinking about the different experience had
by the local audience v. the virtual audience.
