"The need for more interactivity has become vitally important in the changing classroom. ViewSonic has been leading the desktop transformation for over 25 years, and we're continuing that forward momentum with our latest products at this year's BETT show," said Brian Wei, Product & Marketing Director. "Our interactive products, 84" HD displays, and touch innovations are ideal for today's generalised IT trends."
84" 4K Interactive Display
Children are now used to using touch, for Smartphones and tablets, in their everyday lives. They expect nothing less in the classroom. As a huge wall-mounted 84" Windows 8 tablet, the ViewBoard is easy and intuitive to use and helps make lessons engaging and inclusive. ViewSonic's new ViewBoard series, a large-format touch display solution is ideal for the modern classrooms and meeting rooms. The Windows® 8 compatible ViewBoard series features ultra-high resolution and is embedded with multiple advanced infrared sensors, and built-in PCs with powerful CPUs. These displays enable you to work directly on-screen with a higher level of touch accuracy for efficient learning and presentation. Plus, these displays come with an interactive software enabling users to draw and annotate easily on the ViewBoard, while recording all notes and contents. A wide range of applications available on the Microsoft Store and specifically designed with classrooms in mind help increase productivity and interactivity. The ViewBoard series is available in 55'', 65'', 70'' and 84".
24" Android-based Cloud Display
Featuring a 24" 1920x1080 Full HD IPS panel with wide viewing angle, the VSD241 can be the perfect solution to be used as an extended touch monitor through the HDMI input, or as a standalone monitor benefiting from the built-in Android Operating System with access to Google Play store and Google Apps for Education designed specifically with classrooms in mind; making it possible to easily engage students. The VSD241 is ideal for the classroom; it is a versatile tool that can easily adapt to the different classes through a wide variety of educational apps and making full use of the display's touch capability.
Ultra Short Throw Networkable Projector and Dual Interactive Pens
Ultra short throw projectors display 70" images from just a step away from the screen, perfect for creating large displays in tight classrooms and prevent casted shadows and avoid blinding teachers or students when presenting. With an ultra short throw lens, the PJD8653ws can project an 81" image from only 2 feet away, providing an accessible interactive solution for smaller spaces and limited budgets. With an optional interactive package, the PJD8653ws supports dual interactive pens for collaborative learning and turns any surface into an interactive whiteboard. The PJ-PEN-003 dual interactive pens allow 2 users to simultaneously annotate, write, or draw on the projected image.
