I love using the whiteboard. How can I ever get that efficiency in design sessions when all we have is IM and phone?

The Challenge
When teams get together to discuss issues, design products and take decisions, the dynamics of a conference room and building information live on a whiteboard is a very effective way of representing the information being discussed in the meeting. While telecommuting, this tool is either completely absent or rendered ineffective due to the inability to write or draw easily with a mouse interface.

Solutions

 * Graph Tablet
 * Tablet PCs
 * Potential idea with a combination of camera and projector on each side to overlay what each side is drawing on the other side. Some specialized software might be needed.
