The point is to collaboratively draw a picture by using GPS-enabled devices with special software to communicate coordinates to a web server. GPS signal is used to store and draw a route with specific color for each participant. Different route patterns can be interpreted as gestures for drawing macros (e.g. pen toggling, flood fills). The drawing process can be streamed through a mobile client and a web interface, and saved as KML. Otherwise, this is basically a human scale collaborative Paint.
Drawing on the interactive whiteboard is done with a specific marker, which can be virtually any object. The marker movement is detected by a camera and transferred to the virtual whiteboard, which is displayed via a projector on a blank surface. Input and output streams are routed through a web server, making them available to a wide audience. Marker gestures can be used to query web-specific services such as Google, Wikipedia, and Wolfram Alpha to display additional content.
A set of web cameras is used by users to communicate with a shared recorded real place. Be it a table, each user can remotely interact with real or virtual objects on the table via web camera gestures. The augmented reality is synchronised between participants. This can be used for virtual presence, e.g. to participate in tabletop games remotely.
A web application assigns QR codes to registered user profiles (business cards) with personal and social web information. Social services and social graph API (Facebook, Google) are used to enrich profile information with social web activity and connections. A special mobile application turns QR codes directly into user information.
