FlickInk / MoveInk

Principal Investigator Kent Larson


Have you ever been in a teleconference and found it difficult to deliver what you’ve been writing/sketching on paper to the remote participant? FlickInk reinvents paper/pen-based interaction and enables your notes to jump from paper to physical surroundings as well as to a remote destination. With a quick flick of the pen, it allows you to naturally “throw” your handwriting to remote collaborators whenever you're ready. While the contents are sharable in real time as you write, you maintain control of what's shared and what's private. Control over authorship and privacy is enhanced as this paper-based media comes accessible and natural in remote collaboration. Not only in the context of collaboration, FlickInk also seamlessly transfers writings/sketches on paper to specified physical objects. We aim to enhance this novel interaction to enrich highly personalized dynamic experiences for living-working space in the future.
