Preparation for Setup Environment Condition The PT01 touch module functions with an PointWrite interactive projector for scalable finger touch functionality, transforming any flat surface into a virtual interactive whiteboard. For optimal finger touch quality, follow these guidelines: 1. 2. 3. 4. Close all window curtains. Select a projection area away from direct sunlight to prevent writing interference.
Surface Condition Optimal finger touch quality is dependent on the selected surface condition. You can attach the touch module on a wall surface or existing board. It is important to choose a smooth and flat surface area free of protrusions. In the event of a projection surface not conducive to finger touch functionality, select the PointWrite pen as the pointing method for the classroom. Selecting a Wall Surface • Select a wall that is straight and flat, without any protruding objects on it.
Measuring the Flatness of the Surface 1. 2. 3. Place a six-foot carpenter’s level horizontally across the projection area (board). Locate the point on the level furthest away from the projection area. Measure the surface flatness on both sides of the projection area. • Overall finger touch performance is influenced by the flatness of the projection surface. • A flatness variance of 2mm in any direction ensures optimal finger touch performance.
Surface Obstructions Maintain the projection area clean and free of obstructions. The following are common obstruction examples: • Cables or wires that hang into the projected image. Leave extra space between the cables and the projected image so you can make image adjustments later.
