Enhancing video-mediated communication has been a continual concern for developers of collaborative technologies ever since the emergence of CSCW. However, despite numerous attempts with a great variety of related technologies it is hard to find sustained examples of video-based technologies providing synchronous and symmetrical resources to support collaborative work. We consider enhancements to such systems focused around supporting work with material documents. By drawing on explorations with the use of this technology we consider the resources participants use and require undertaking detailed distributed collaborative activities in media space.
