Problem
Remote and hybrid meetings often lack the collaborative benefits of in-person brainstorming sessions using physical whiteboards and notebooks. Existing screen-sharing solutions can be cumbersome and fail to capture the nuances of freehand sketches and real-time annotations on analog surfaces.
Solution
Grapic is a mobile application that leverages augmented reality (AR) and image processing to stream real-time video of physical notebooks and whiteboards directly into remote meetings. By sharing a link, colleagues can view a stabilized and focused video stream of the analog surface, enabling them to follow along with sketches, diagrams, and notes as they are created. The app eliminates the need for specialized equipment, allowing users to simply point their phone at the drawing surface and share it directly into Zoom, FigJam, or any browser. Grapic brings back the ease and speed of analog brainstorming to remote collaboration.
Target Audience
The primary users are remote teams, hybrid workforces, designers, educators, and anyone who needs to collaborate visually using traditional sketching and writing methods during online meetings.
