Bringing the common whiteboard into the digital age

Most of us have attended a lecture or a meeting in which a whiteboard was an integral part of the learning and communication process. Whether you are an educator explaining some finer point of a lesson or you are simply conveying an idea to a colleague, whiteboards provide a way to augment the fidelity of your communication. This is particularly true when text alone will not do the trick. Wouldn't it be great if the common dry-erase whiteboard could digitally store all your handwritten text and sketches? How about if you could engage in the same free-style, creative, problem-solving discourse with other participants who are not in the same room with you? What if you could review the notes written on a whiteboard from a meeting that you could not attend?.
