Traditional whiteboards use pens that always seem to run out of ink in the middle of a presentation and can be messy. People take a photo of these boards but somebody still has to type this information before the minutes can be sent out. Using a projector based board is slightly better but it means that your presentation cannot be changed while you are presenting and that you need to ensure that you do not block the image coming from the projector by standing in front of the board.
The infrared interactive whiteboard is a solution to all these problems because the unique software allows users to write with a stylus pen or their finger. The LED backlight means that you can stand and write in front of the screen and all your information will still be displayed on the screen without a shadow. The images on the board can be e-mailed to people at the meeting or sent to a multi-functional device and copies can be handed out.
The advanced infrared sensors detect multiple infrared LED lights to pinpoint the exact location of the pen or finger. This enables increased accuracy when writing which makes writing easier to read.
Conventional light based projectors are difficult to see in a well lit room so the lights are often dimmed to reduce the glare. This meant that users were not always able to see their own notes clearly.
Conventional LCD monitors are designed so that there is a space between the touch screen and the Interactive Display unit which means that you have slight distortion between notations on the screen and what is being drawn.
The interactive white board is an amazing technology which allows the user to annotate a diagram, save the annotated image and then send the image via e-mail. The same image can be displayed on up to 5 boards at the same time, even if those boards are not in the same location, this gives you the ability to perform remote location lectures.
