I'd love to see us adopt such technology and strongly encourage its use, while at the same time actively discouraging the use of these meeting slots for presentations and instead treating them as discussions.But rigs for cameras that are set up to be pointed down onto sheets of paper on which drawings and notes are being made are a lot more compact, compatible with the projectors we are using already, and, like overhead transparencies and PowerPoint-like decks, leave traces that can easily be incorporated into minutes -- something that is less feasible with any whiteboard technology we'd be likely to be able to drag around. (Another way to put is that even if we provide such cameras in meetings along with colored pens and paper, we will continue to see PowerPoint being used as it is today unless there's a community-wide effort to change our entrenched habits.)
