Technology
The
Interactive board uses the latest advances in
digital electromagnetic sensing technology. A
small magnetic field is created over the surface
of the board, which is activated by holding the
specially designed pen in proximity of the board’s
surface. The pen reflects a signal back to the
board, which is then sent to the computer as
an X/Y co-ordinate.
This
enables the computer to understand where on the
surface of the board the user is pointing, thus
tracking pen movement just like a mouse. Use
of this digital technology enables fast, stable
and accurate tracking.
To
facilitate this technology, a special pen has
been designed, which is ergonomic, lightweight
and cordless. Based on the Rotring Art pen, the
pen has been designed to offer comfort and balance
to the user, giving an intuitive, natural feel
to every presentation. The Pen is battery-free
so there is no need to worry about charging or
replacing batteries. It supports both left and
right mouse clicks and, used in conjunction with
the software, enables users to have full control
over their presentation including multiple pen
colour selection, from a single device. Two pens
are supplied with each board and additional ones
may be purchased thereafter.
To
enable the Promethean board to be used
over a long period in harsh environments, it
is manufactured with a tough Formica surface.
The absence of a soft membrane type surface means
that it is not touch sensitive and so cannot
be used with the finger (or any other object).
The boards surface is matt based and is ideal
for use with digital projectors. This surface
prevents projector "hot spots" and
screen glare from reflecting back towards the
audience.
Tried
and tested in the toughest environments. including
the classroom.
Maybe
you have a class of clean, well behaved little
angels? Or maybe not?
Either way, our Activboard is designed to cope. It’s just another of
the advantages of having our kit designed by teachers. And then tested to the
highest degree.
Made with a solid screen, little kids, or big ones, can safely lean on it or
rest their hands against it when writing. Dirty or paint smeared hands make
no difference to its performance.
Kick it... hit it... throw a coin at it... stick a compass in it... it’ll
still carry on working.
We even heard of one accidentally moved on a car roof in a downpour - with
no ill effect. (Though, please note, comprehensive though our warranties are,
this would be excluded!)
It’ll also happily cope with temperature changes. So, for example, heat
in an uncooled classroom over the long Summer break won’t... break it.
Even at Uluru (Ayers Rock).
The secret? Sitting behind the screens is our specially designed electromagnetic
grid.
It’s unaffected by any damage to the screen surface.
And, by crosschecking three separate sets of co-ordinates, it allows incredible
accuracy.
On-screen tools, such as protractors, for example, can measure down to a single
degree.
While our mouse pen writes just like a pen. And, with cursor, rollover, and
click functions,
acts just like a mouse. Minus, of course, those nasty squeaking noises... from
chalk.
