Abstract:
There is provided a system and method for the Figment collaboration system, providing intuitive user interfaces for collaboration. There is provided a system comprising an input surface, a display outputting on the input surface, and a server having a processor configured to receive a first input from the input surface, convert the first input into a first content box, generate contextual content suggestions based on the first content box, and show the first content box and the contextual content suggestions in a workspace canvas output to the display. By utilizing data sources accessible through a network, the contextual content suggestions may provide highly relevant data and remote user access to facilitate enhanced collaboration. At the same time, by supporting familiar workflows similar to working with conventional whiteboards, users can readily use the Figment collaboration system without the stress of having to learn poorly designed and complicated collaboration interfaces.
