SketchPoint
SketchPoint is a sketch-based tool for taking notes and creating informal presentations.
It provides lightweight support for the early stages of idea capturing and communication.
It allows fluid sketching of graphs, words and other expressive symbols. Unlike existing
authoring tools that are designed for formal presentations, SketchPoint is aimed at
creating informal presentations via freeform sketching.
In SketchPoint, presenters can quickly author presentations by
sketching presentation structures and contents. To
facilitate the transition from idea capturing to communication, a note-taking
workspace was embedded. By enabling the mapping from
notes to slides, SketchPoint offers a smooth transition from note-taking to
presentation activities.
I designed and built SketchPoint based on Penbuilder from
2001 to 2002, when I was a graduate student at the
Institue of Software at
the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.
