System and Method for Collaborative Computing

A computer-implemented method for collaborative visual expression, the method comprising:

• constructing a virtual workspace at the portable computing device, the virtual workspace configured to host objects including one or more objects that define one or more subspaces of the virtual workspace;
• communicating with a cooperating portable computing device via a wireless communication link, once established between the portable computing device and the cooperating portable computing device, in order to synchronize the virtual workspace at the portable computing device with another virtual workspace constructed at the cooperating portable computing device;
• generating a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface configured to present an individual view of the virtual workspace to a user of the portable computing device and allowing visual expression within the virtual workspace via a touch input device associated with the portable computing device;
• and
• processing data pertaining to touch input detected by the touch input device in connection with the graphical user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for collaborative visual expression, the method comprising:

• constructing a virtual workspace at the portable computing device, the virtual workspace configured to host objects including one or more objects that define one or more subspaces of the virtual workspace;
• communicating with a cooperating portable computing device via a wireless communications link, one established between the portable computing device and the cooperating portable computing device, in order to synchronize the virtual workspace at the portable computing device with another virtual workspace constructed at the cooperating portable computing device;
• generating a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface configured to present an individual view of the virtual workspace to a user of the portable computing device and allowing visual expression within the virtual workspace via a touch input device associated with the portable computing device;
• and
• processing data pertaining to touch input detected by the touch input device in connection with the graphical user interface.
