Smart Technologies
Smart has launched three new lines
of displays, two of which feature iQ, proprietary collaboration technology that allows for integration of personal devices, software and content within the interactive display. On the high end is the new Smart Board 7000 series, with iQ, which features HyPr Touch
for more precise writing and touch accuracy and the ability to recognize commands from interactive tools. The software also enables writing in four different colors of pens simultaneously. Dual proximity sensors activate the board when the teacher walks into
the room. This model is available
in 75- and 86-inch 4K formats and
is expected to ship this spring. The updated 6000 series also includes iQ and comes in 65- and 75-inch display sizes, both 4K. The new 2000 series
is a non-touch display with integrated wireless screen sharing, also expected this spring in a 75-inch 4K format.
