Abstract

Digital workspace ergonomics apparatuses, method and systems (“DWE”) transform user multi-element touchscreen gestures via DWE components into updated digital collaboration whiteboard objects. In one embodiment, the DWE obtains user whiteboard input from a client device participating in a digital collaborative whiteboarding session. The DWE parses the user whiteboard input to determine user instructions, and modifies a tile object included in the digital collaborative whiteboarding session according to the determined user instructions. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the client device. Also, the DWE determines that client viewport content of a second client device should be modified because of modifying the tile object included in the digital whiteboard. The DWE generates updated client viewport content for the second client device after determining that the content of the second client device should be modified, and provides the updated client viewport content to the second client device.
