Haptic Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 What is the Genee View It is an interactive whiteboard projector. Just plug it in and present without the need of an actual whiteboard. How does it work A colour camera with I/R filter mounted on the projector allows for interaction with the wand and light pen. What can you do with it Everything you can on an actual interactive whiteboard, write notes, circle key points, type changes, manipulate text, data and images, capture, modify, save or email anything on the screen as an image file, access and browse the internet, move from screen to screen without losing interactivity, capture the audience attention by interacting with the image. Easy to set up and use Simply plug into a computer source, save the software, respond to a straightforward 13 point calibration and you’re ready to interact. Affordability Costs 50% less than traditional interactive whiteboards and ONLY one piece of equipment to purchase. Simplicity No installation necessary. Portable or can be retrofit into existing projector installations. Flexibility No screen necessary. Turn any flat surface into an interactive surface. Allows for large and flexible screen sizes (also available in a short throw, widescreen, and ultra-short throw model). Compatibility Works with virtually all interactive software. Write on the screen, use mouse control, type text from an onscreen keyboard, and save notes and edits for future use. Please contact us on 0845 249 1779 or email us at [email protected] for pricing
SimpleSi Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Do you know how many times someone has come out with a magic device like this None of them have ever worked before And on a practical note Simplicity No installation necessary. Portable or can be retrofit into existing projector installations. How can a projector not require installation? And how can it be retro-fitted to an exisiting projector??? methinks this a triumph of marketing (by the manufacturers - not yourselves ) over physics Si
Haptic Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks Si! I was sent details on this today and I think that it would be ideal for a smaller schools, where cost is a factor. It is certainly a lot more cost effective than a Promethean or Smart IWB and although it isn't in the same class as these, it offers a portion of the functionality for a fraction of the cost. After all we pride ourselves on our attempts to stretch the budgets of our clients not simply sell the big, expensive brands. I think it meant fitted to an existing mount....rather than purchasing a new one, which again would save the school money. Chris "You'll like it, but not a lot...magic!"
SimpleSi Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 it offers a portion of the functionality for a fraction of the cost. That's the problem, in the past , the ratio of portion of functionality to cost reduction has not been worth it regards Simon PS I think Joe just tried ringing me on my mob - if so get him to try again
