Abstract
For a number of users is a system provided to create, edit, replay and view documents of free hand drawn sketches. The system captures the creation process together with verbal and/or visual information provided by each user and automatically correlates them for a later synchronized replay. The system provides a number of tools and features, mainly to: combine the sketching activity with existing images, to selectively retrieve media information correlated to individual sketch entities and to quasi simultaneously collaborate at a common document. The system architecture can by adjusted to various parameters in the communication infrastructure. The system may be implemented in any software program, a web based service, a web browser, an operating system for computers and/or communication devices.
