Whenever someone has a pen and paper, at some point they will start scribbling on it with or without their presence of mind. It is an undefined nature of people and those scribbling they make may be funny or sometimes artistic. “What if someone wants to share those scribbling of theirs with friends or relatives?” Sharing those things is possible only if their friends were near them or they got to scan that to share that. Scanning some funny doodles is too much just for sharing to make fun of it.
The sharing of doodles that you made while you were in classroom, meeting or while studying at home alone is made possible now with the help of UbiSketch (Ubiquitous Real Time Sketch‐Based Communication). UbiSketch is a project from University of California, San Diego which now made the social networks more fun and more attractive. Lisa G. Cowan, Laura R. Pina, William G. Griswold, Nadir Weibel and James D. Hollan who were the developers of this UbiSketch explained their project using Anoto digital pen and a notebook printed with the dot pattern along with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
The principle of working behind this project is that the “Anoto digital pens capture paper‐based interaction and stream data to Bluetooth‐enabled mobile phones. The phones forward data to a server, which publishes sketches to digital services on the Internet.”, as they explained in their Poster presented at the Jacobs School of Engineering Research Expo, University of California, San Diego.
“The researchers asked 10 people to test out UbiSketch over a period of four weeks. The results, presented today at the Mobile HCI conference in Stockholm, Sweden, were mostly positive, with the testers enjoying the system and finding that their Facebook friends would comment more on sketches than they normally did with photos”, reports NewScientist.
While talking about UbiSketch, the team were found so sure about that this will provide us a new platform after all they need a paper and pen to make the sharing. Also the portability, flexibility, readability in bright light, and high resolution of UbiSketch make it glamorous over the current methods of sharing in social networks.
