How Does Your SMART Board Interactive
Whiteboard Work?
Your interactive whiteboard functions as an input device for your computer, just like a
mouse, enabling you to work in any application on your computer from your interactive
whiteboard’s screen.
When you touch your interactive whiteboard's surface, your interactive whiteboard
detects the contact’s horizontal and vertical (or x,y) coordinates. Your computer’s
mouse driver interprets these coordinates and moves the pointer to the corresponding
point on the screen.
Projected Mode
Using your interactive whiteboard in
projected (also known as mouse) mode
requires two additional components: a
computer and a digital projector.
These components work together as follows:
• Your computer runs an application, and
then sends the image to your projector.
• Your projector casts the image onto your
interactive whiteboard.
• Your interactive whiteboard acts both as your computer’s monitor and its input
devices, i.e., mouse and keyboard, enabling you to control any application by
touching the screen.
When you install SMART product drivers on your computer and all the pens and the
eraser are in their pen tray slots, the touch of your finger on the screen becomes a
mouse click, enabling you to control your computer from your interactive whiteboard.
When you remove a pen from the pen tray, sensors detect which tool you’re using.
SMART product drivers then interact with the computer’s mouse driver to change the
pointer into a colored pen, enabling you to write in digital ink on your desktop or any
open application. When you replace the pen and pick up the eraser, you can erase the
digital ink from the screen. You can also save your notes to a SMART Notebook file,
or directly into any Ink Aware application.
Non-Projected Mode
When you use your interactive whiteboard in non-projected (also known as
whiteboard) mode, you won’t be able to operate your computer from your interactive
whiteboard. However, you can still use SMART Notebook to capture, save or print
anything that you write on your interactive whiteboard.
