A UI for presenting and reviewing a document is optimized based upon the type of computing device being utilized to present the document. One such UI includes a first pane showing a view of the document under review that is sized and formatted for display on a large-format display device. The first pane can also be utilized to emphasize a portion of the document. The UI also includes a second pane that includes indicators for each of the reviewers of the document. The selection of an indicator will cause a portion of the document being reviewed by the corresponding reviewer to be displayed in the first pane. The UI also includes a third pane that includes a scaled image of the document shown in the first pane. Selection of a portion of the scaled image causes the selected portion of the document to be displayed in the first pane.

A method for providing collaborative interaction between a receiver computing device and a sender computing device is provided. The method includes at the receiver computing device, establishing a local peer-to-peer wireless connection with a sender computing device, receiving from the sender computing device via the local peer-to-peer wireless connection data for a GUI of a remotely executed application program that is executed on the sender computing device, displaying the GUI on a display associated with the receiver computing device, receiving user input from an input device associated with the receiver computing device indicating a user interaction with the GUI, sending the user input to the sender computing device, receiving from the sender computing device data indicating an updated state of the GUI generated by the sender computing device based on the user input, and displaying the updated state of the GUI on the display associated with the receiver computing device.

System and method providing collaborative interaction

A state client is configured to allow a user to specify a meeting-specific state, such as that the user is running late for a meeting, checked in to the meeting, or unable to attend the meeting. A state service stores data identifying the user's meeting-specific state. The state service also responds to requests for the state of the user. In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client.
