Cubist Scarborough's shared markerboard for the virtual world of Second LifeThe screenshot at left is lifted from a BlogHUD post by Second Life user CDB Barkley, which flags a shared markerboard created by user Cubist Scarborough, which you can see in the Cottonwood sim. It’s a pretty nice piece of work. You sit on one of a handful of chairs and click through to a Web page, where you can draw in various colors, as well as erase. Everyone’s contributions show up on the same board, which refreshes itself in SL every five seconds or so.

The markerboard is a nice demo project, but I’d love to see a commercial product with the following features:

• larger writing surface on the Web
• larger display surface in SL
• ability to add a texture as a backdrop in addition to just drawing on a blank slate
• access list so you can limit which users may draw and which may erase
• ability to erase only your own contributions

I’d pay for a copy of that.
