The above image is the only example something that reflects the titled idea. The Calou is an actual E-Paper Writable Wall Calendar. Alas, it it's still not exactly what I mean when I say "Wall Calendar".
In the search to merge the realities of the past with the ideals of the future, I still want a calendar that will be large enough to view from more than a few feet away. But it still needs the capacity for writing in (in actual handwriting) dates, times, and notes.
I realize that this is a Mad Tech Idea in that some fairly smart software is needed to interpret the handwriting of many into something a computer understands. Usually writer programs train themselves based on much of the user's writing. But what if many people write, each with a different style, can the software still recognize it and translate to text?
My proposed wall calendar needs to be several fold larger than the CALOU. Something on the order of at least 24 x 18 inches (60 x 45 mm), upwards of 80 x 60 inches (203 x 152 mm).
The calendar must update automatically, each month without hassle.
The users need to be able to access other months to add their notes.
It should react only to the digital e-pen (not hands or sleeves).
It will be connected to a primary cloud calendar so that those who remote can see the calendar.
At the moment this idea does not seem so easy or inexpensive, but in all honesty, what are Mad Tech Ideas if not ... a little crazy?
