Description

An interactive display is a state-of-the-art digital alternative to traditional whiteboards or paper flipcharts. They are multifunctional tools that combine the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer. An interactive display, also know as an interactive flat panel display (IFPD), allows users to display images and data from a connected device, interact with the content directly on the board with a finger or stylus and capture all the written or drawn notes made during a meeting.

An interactive display typically consists of a touch-sensitive panel connected to your computer and a small camera positioned toward the room of meeting attendees. The computer can be used to access documents or presentations in your files or network. Users can then manipulate the information using the computer or directly on the panel using touch gestures or a specialized stylus. This ability to interact with digital content makes interactive displays a dynamic tool for presentations, brainstorming sessions and collaborative work.

Businesses have found interactive displays to be especially effective when conducting meetings with geographically disperse groups. This includes staff at alternate locations, remote workers, vendors and customers. 

How Interactive Displays Work

nteractive displays offer a variety of functions and features designed to enhance business meetings and collaborative sessions. Their touch-sensitive surfaces enable real-time editing, note taking and navigation of displayed content.

Some models even include handwriting recognition software, allowing users to convert handwritten notes into text. Most interactive displays also support multimedia content, such as videos and audio and may also include tools for highlighting, drawing and creating standardized shapes.

Advanced models often come with multi-touch capabilities, enabling multiple users to interact with the board simultaneously. Wireless connectivity options, integration with cloud services and compatibility with a wide range of software applications further expand the functionality of interactive displays.

In summary, interactive displays are a versatile tool designed for today’s modern business environment.
