A Smart Board Interactive Whiteboard may also be used in non-projected mode (without using a projector), but using them with projector is what making Classroom Smart and interactive. We can use a whiteboard in projected mode with having three main components:
- § A Computer System
- § A Digital Projector
- § A SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
All these three components work together to make an Interactive Smart Classroom as
The Smart Board uses DViT (Digital Vision Touch) technology to detect and respond to touch interactions on the surface of interactive whiteboards. This camera-based touch technology for interactive whiteboards and interactive displays uses digital cameras and proprietary software and firmware to detect finger or pen contact with the screen.
With this new generation digital smartboard users can easily and interactively engage themselves in drawing diagrams, opening images and videos, exploring internet or illustrate their points by writing directly on it and express them in an interactive manner that will also facilitate the viewers.
