I drew my sketches on tractor feed paper instead of the standard ream. I found it liberating to thinking of my pages as a continuous stream of ideas, rather than independent thoughts. To your point about the expensive tool, you must admit that it is cool! If anyone wants to try their hand with an inexpensive variation of the concept in the video, visit: http://www.miniclip.com/games/magic-pen/en/ -- My son found this game in grade one and I've enjoyed it more than he does. ;-) You and Alex should team up: http://tangibleinteraction.com/ Cheers!

I'm a HUGE fan of Bill Buxton as well :-) In all fairness, the YouTube video of Randall Davis's ASSIST prototype, is an academic proof-of-concept and not even intended for HCI sketching. Personally I practice a mixture of paper-based ideation, and software assisted sketching. For certain parts of the design process it's really useful to have a digital sketch to interact with because for some tasks it helps me cheapen the sketch by reusing components perhaps from a pattern library. Thanks for the interesting posts! Hi Jerome, I’ve just found your blog and enjoying reading your posts.
