Seeing note -taking in action

The research persued by Marc Orlando at Monash University in Australia leverages the technology offered by Livescribe digital pen, allowing to see note-taking in action while listening to the speech being spoken. It is fascinating because you read about note-taking in famous books I won't mention again, but you don't see the dynamics of it. It is like those books that still plunge deep into matters of music but that won't come with a CD to listen to the melodies under the scalpel. There is one example in a Japan of a unique book published some 3 years ago, mentioned in this blog, that covers the matter of note-taking. It comes with a rather poorly recorded DVD still fascinating, because it shows in action veteran interpreters taking notes on huge paper notes for the purpose of visible post-analysis. What Marc Orlando pushes forward is to see and hear the same thing, but in a realistic dimension. That the Livescribe technology requires special paper notes is a clear disadvantage compared for instance with the Pegasus digital pen, but the recording capacity of both the writing and the surrounding sound is brillant. It will totally modify note taking classes.

Now, are there any technology that will aid in the future consecutive at work?
