Wang freestyle

This is a demonstration of a novel system to support annotation of digital documents using syncrhonized pen, ink, and pointing. The system enables the user to mark up a document, as well as gesture and point, with a pen, while speaking, and have all of this recorded and then mailed with the document. The resut is that recipients got a message that provided natural "over the shoulder" presentation of the sender's comments. What is remarkable is that this work was done in 1989, and yet, while being of significant potential value, this capability is still not available on today's systems.

This video was produced in 1989 and was circulated as part of the ACM SIGGRAPH Video Review 45, Copper Gilloth and Bill Buxton, editors.

Maybe there's a reason the numbers don't match up.

What an asshole.
