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.
