Pervasive UML
Ideogramic UML™ has a fast and natural gesture-based user
interface that works well on desktop PC's.

The interface, however, is also unique in that it allows for
effective, pen-based interaction. This means that you can use
Ideogramic UML™ in new and exciting ways that are not possible with
other UML tools:
- Collaboration: Groups of persons can work with the UML together
- Mobility: Use the UML without chaining yourself to your desk
And, since all this different work situation are offered by the
same tool you will not have to spend time converting from one format
to another -- you simple save your work in one context and then
re-open it in another.
Collaboration
The Desktop PC is far from ideal for collaboration among several
individuals -- group work is much more convenient and productive at a
whiteboard.
So what does that have to do with UML modelling? Simple: The clever
design of Ideogramic UML™ with its support for pen-based
interaction is perfect for use on eBoards -- electronic whiteboards
such as Mimio, eBeam, Tool-Tribe or SMART Board.

Mobility
The office cubicles are starting to fall, and offices are becoming
more and more open and geared to mobile work. A standard desktop PC,
however, is hardly mobile, and taking the whole thing with you for a
coffee break or to see a colleague located somewhere else is just not
an option.
The pen-based interaction of Ideogramic UML™ is perfect for use on
the next generation of portable devices -- the Tablet PC. On
a Tablet PC you can create UML diagrams by drawing directly on the
screen just like on a pad of paper, and with all the affordances of a
pad of paper: A fast and easy-to-use interface, a lightweight 'device'
that is easy to carry around, and a media that inspires creativity.
