Advanced IR with Object Awareness
Advanced IR technology uses light emitters and receivers mounted in the interactive whiteboard’s frame
to track the position of your finger or the pen as it moves across the interactive screen. The emitters
create an invisible light surface, and the receivers detect the light, or more importantly, the lack of it. With
Object Awareness, the whiteboard responds automatically to the tool or object you’re using, whether it’s
a pen, finger, eraser, or palm.
Touch and gestures
Touch and gestures enable you to write and erase digital ink and to perform mouse functions by
touching the interactive whiteboard with your pen, palm, or a finger. Your interactive whiteboard also
features gesture capability, providing a natural and flexible way to interact with content.
