Peer-to-Peer Ink Messaging Across Heterogeneous Devices and Platforms
Overview Pen and touch interfaces for personal and shared devices are becoming increasingly relevant today, in the context of mobility and ease of use. A key capability enabled by pen-interfaces is that of messaging using handwritten, as opposed to text messages. Not only are ink messages easier to enter than text messages (especially when a full keyboard is not present), they allow the incorporation of other elements such as drawings and doodles into instant messaging. However since ink formats are typically platform-specific and proprietary, messaging across different platforms such as Tablet PCs and Linux-based PDAs poses an interoperability problem. This paper shows how Ink Markup Language (InkML), an open draft standard from W3C, can be used to address this problem.
