Claim 15:
16. A system for enabling collaboration between physical writers and virtual writers, the system comprising:
at least one processor programmed to:
receive image data representing a hand of a first physical writer holding a physical marking implement and engaging with a physical surface to create tangible markings, wherein the image data is received from an image sensor associated with a wearable extended reality appliance worn by the first physical writer;
transmit information based on the image data to at least one computing device associated with at least one second virtual writer, to thereby enable the at least one second virtual writer to view the tangible markings created by the first physical writer;
receive from the at least one computing device annotation data representing additional markings in relative locations with respect to the tangible markings created by the first physical writer; and
in response to receiving the annotation data, cause the wearable extended reality appliance to overlay the physical surface with virtual markings in the relative locations;
wherein the physical surface is a compilation of pages;
wherein the received annotation data represents first virtual markings associated with a first page of the compilation and second virtual markings associated with a second page of the compilation; and
wherein the compilation is a notebook, and the at least one processor is further programmed to:
analyze the image data to determine that the notebook is opened to the first page; and
cause the wearable extended reality appliance to overlay the first virtual markings on the first page of the notebook and exclude overlaying the second virtual markings on the first page of the notebook.
