Califone's WB80 Interactive Whiteboard consists of software with an interconnected hardware frame that permanently attaches to a wall and connects to PCs with Windows operating systems. Using a series of built-in sensors around the perimeter, infrared technology triangulates and interprets writing or movements against the surface, eliminating the need for special pens or writing instruments.
Once calibrated, this whiteboard can be used as a computer mouse by touching/dragging along the interactive whiteboard space with your finger or pointing device. The included software has several functions that can be accessed by touching icons on the right side of the screen, including show/hide the whiteboard, select red/blue/multi-color pen to draw on the whiteboard/desktop, erase, magnify, hide, resize to focus attention on certain parts of the screen, clock/timer function, and snapshot of the current screen.
