Whether it be the class rooms or board rooms we all know
that once a projector is involved the level of interaction is turned down to a
minimum. Thus the rising in using smart boards over projectors in recent days,
but there is a cheaper solution being offered right here in Jamaica called eBeam.
What is eBeam?
It’s a handwriting capture system that adds an interactive
layer to whatever being projected on a wall or whiteboard. I use the word
projected because this device relies heavily on the use of a projector. The
device lets you and your associates add footnotes to a projected image or
document, or to sketch something on a whiteboard, and e-mail them like memos.
How Does It Works
The eBeam is simpler and less expensive than a smart board
and uses things you already have around like projectors and PC’s or laptops.
The device consists of a fat marker-like stylus and a hardware sensor that
connects to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. This sensor attaches next to whatever
flat surface you want to use to make your presentation. To calibrate it, you will
have to tap the stylus on the nine points projected on the wall. The setup
process takes less than five minutes more or less. Once everything’s running,
you can draw images or write text with an astounding level of precision. The
eBeam’s stylus which has an AAA battery inside is tracked by the flat sensor
you’ve attached to the wall.
Who is it for?

The eBeam is very versatile and can be used for many things,
but its best fitted for education. This device comes with a stockpile of
educational template and features to aid in the teaching from kindergarten
children up to university students. Persons can also make presentation and
record them or broadcast them via the web for online tutelage. So if you are
teacher/instructor this will certainly help you in teaching those tough to
understand topics.
Final Thoughts

The
eBeam is the only cheaper solution for a smart board and given the fact that
price matters in our current economical environment, persons should consider
taking a closer looking on this device. The eBeam is sold as a bundle that
comes paired with a projector of your choosing, which range from US$ 1,900 to
$US 9,600 with Lumens range from 2,800 to 6,000. The products mentioned in this
