Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems. Embodiments of the present invention can. in response to receiving information, map an environment comprising one or more electronic devices. Embodiments of the present invention can then dynamically update the mapped environment based on the received information. Embodiments of the present invention can then display the updated environment on display areas of respective electronic devices of the one or more electronic devices.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, information from an interactive whiteboard (IWB), wherein the IWB is an interactive display board in a form factor of a whiteboard and the information comprises a first input to the IWB using an electronic marker with movement sensors;
- responsive to receiving information, mapping, by the one or more processors, an environment comprising the IWB and one or more electronic devices;
- dynamically updating, by the one or more processors, the environment comprising the one or more electronic devices based on the received information;
- causing, by the one or more processors, the updated environment to be displayed on respective display areas of each electronic device of the one or more electronic devices;
- enabling, by the one or more processors, a private mode for modifying a private environment, wherein the private mode is for a subset of a group of users of the one or more electronic devices;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, edits in the private mode by the subset of the group of users;
- responsive to receiving the edits in the private mode by the subset of the group of users, copying, by the one or more processors, content of the environment and adding the edits to the copied content of the environment;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, a request, by a user of the subset of the group of users, to merge content from the private mode;
- responsive to receiving the request, causing, by the one or more processors, the edits to be updated on the respective display areas of each electronic device of the one or more electronic devices;
- and
- causing, by the one or more processors, guided haptic feedback to be provided directly to the electronic marker to complete a task on the IWB, wherein a second input to cause the guided haptic feedback is received from an electronic device of the one or more electronic devices.

A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information from an interactive whiteboard (IWB), wherein the IWB is an interactive display board in a form factor of a whiteboard and the information comprises a first input to the IWB using an electronic marker with movement sensors;
- responsive to receiving information, mapping an environment comprising the IWB and one or more electronic devices;
- dynamically updating the environment comprising the one or more electronic devices based on the received information;
- causing the updated environment to be displayed on respective display areas of each electronic device of the one or more electronic devices;
- enabling a private mode for modifying a private environment, wherein the private mode is for a subset of a group of users of the one or more electronic devices;
- receiving edits in the private mode by the subset of the group of users;
- responsive to receiving the edits in the private mode by the subset of the group of users, copying content of the environment and adding the edits to the copied content of the environment;
- receiving a request, by a user of the subset of the group of users, to merge content from the private mode;
- responsive to receiving the request, causing the edits to be updated on the respective display areas of each electronic device of the one or more electronic devices;
- and
- causing guided haptic feedback to be provided directly to the electronic marker to complete a task on the IWB, wherein a second input to cause the guided haptic feedback is received from an electronic device of the one or more electronic devices.
