DViT technology

Two digital cameras, one in each of the interactive whiteboard’s top corners, track the

position of your finger or the pen as it moves across the interactive surface.

Durable surface

The interactive surface is scratch-resistant, dent-resistant and optimized for

projection.

How does your SMART Board interactive whiteboard work?

Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and pen function as input devices for your

computer, like a mouse, enabling you to work in any application on your connected

computer from your interactive whiteboard’s surface.

When you connect your interactive whiteboard to a computer with SMART Product

Drivers, the following actions occur:

• The computer runs an application, and then sends the image to your projector.

• Your projector casts the image onto your interactive whiteboard.

• Your interactive whiteboard acts as your computer’s monitor and its input devices

enable you to control any application by touching the interactive surface.

When you install SMART Product Drivers on your computer, a Floating Tools toolbar

appears over your desktop and any open application. By default, SMART Product

Drivers interprets your touches and pen contact on the interactive surface as left

mouse clicks. When you select a pen button on the Floating Tools toolbar, SMART

Product Drivers interacts with the computer’s mouse driver to change the pointer to a

colored pen, which enables you to write over your desktop or any open application

with digital ink. You can change pen settings, including the transparency, color and

width of the ink. You can then save your notes to a file in SMART Notebook software

or directly into any Ink Aware application. You can also customize other tools, such as

the width of the eraser tool you use to erase your notes.
