Digital pens, custom paper & a specially designed Windows app

Paper4Everyone lets users: draw, sketch and express ideas; immediately present and discuss them on a shared screen; and effortlessly distribute the results among co-workers.

This allows users to communicate more visually, boost productivity and involve the whole team for a truly collaborative work experience. With Paper4Everyone, handwritten notes are automatically converted to digital strokes. This lets users get the best from the paper and digital worlds: flexible and intuitive note capturing and effortless duplication, sharing and storage.

The resulting digital notes are transferred to a nearby computer, wirelessly and in real-time. Users can directly control what the computer displays using the paper and without getting up. Using the 'paper buttons' (interactive areas printed on the physical paper) everyone can participate. Bring sketches to the foreground to present them to the team, select multiple sketches to show them side-by side or navigate back and forth between the overview and single-page view.

Users are not limited to a single formatted book. Rather, they can use all kinds of paper formats: from small Post-its to handy A5, standard A4 or large-scale A3 sheets. Although the pen is connected via Bluetooth to show drawings in real-time, when leaving the room the pen starts to store all drawings automatically. On return, everything is synced and appears on the computer.

Users can also share drawings with co-workers, friends or partners via the internet. For example, use Paper4Everyone to easily express ideas by simply jotting them down on paper and sharing them in a Skype conference, without needing to explain an idea for hours.

Results are not locked into Paper4Everyone. It uses standard file formats so work can easily be shared or continue refining work in other applications. See everyone's notes instantly and in real-time. Just write on any page with an analogue pen and paper and watch it appear in the overview. No calibration or configuration is necessary.

Sketches can easily be automnattically grouped by pen, paper format or time. Each single pen is uniquely identified. The Paper4Everyone application can record exactly at which time which pen has drawn which line on what page.

Paper4Everyone uses Anoto digital pens to capture every detail of your handwriting by using an optical sensor in the tip of the pen. The camera registers a dot code on the paper with an accuracy of 690 dpi. The dot code is carefully designed to be barely visible to the human eye at normal viewing distance. To facilitate true team work, this pattern code is unique on every page. Our Paper4Everyone software is a Windows application that processes and visualises all written information from multiple pens and multiple pages in real-time.
