PLUS UPIC-W72M Interactive Wireless Panel (Item No: G03-35)

The UPIC-W72M is a 72" wide wireless interactive panel with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and allows the user to operate a computer directly from a projected image by using a unique digital pen. The UPIC offers quick-and-easy setup: Simply unroll the compact panel and attach it to a steel wall, whiteboard, chalkboard or other flat surfaces, then pair the Bluetooth® digital pen with a computer. In addition to its interactive functionality, it can also be used as a regular whiteboard. The user can write and erase contents using the provided markers and an eraser. Furthermore, the UPIC sheet surface is made of a special material that minimizes the reflection and glare of a projector, making it an ideal projection screen. The entire back surface of the PLUS UPIC is a magnetic sheet, allowing the panel to be attached easily to many places. The thinness of the material (0.4 mm) and its light weight (6.2 pounds) means that it can be rolled up easily to be conveniently carried using the provided carrying case. The UPIC uses an almost invisible Anoto dot pattern printed on the panel surface of the panel. The unique digital pen contains an integrated digital camera which takes a snapshot of the dot pattern and the coordinates are instantly recognized. The digital pen has a Bluetooth® transceiver which transmits data to a computer wirelessly, yet its design and feel are just like regular ink pens. Therefore, the user can comfortably and smoothly write on the panel in digital format.

The "Touch & Draw" functionality allows the user to create "highlighter" marks or insert graphics onto areas of the projected content. This type of visual communication, through drawings and graphics, allows the user to show greater clarity and provide more nuance than by simply speaking at length. And with Micrsoft PowerPoint 2003 (or later), by using the "Pointer option" function, it is possible to write contents on a projected PowerPoint slide which can then be saved as a new PowerPoint file including the newly added written contents. Additionally, by employing the innovative sheet-type panel, there are minimal components that make up this sheet-type interactive display, compared to a conventional board-type Interactive Whiteboard which requires a board-frame, a stand, sensing parts, cords, and many more. As a result, the PLUS UPIC is an impressively affordable tool that can be used in a variety of locations.
