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.
