Use pen and touch together on new whiteboard

Promethean has unveiled its next generation ActivBoard 500 Pro-series, which introduces technology that allows the board to be operated simultaneously by both pen and ‘gesture’ touch.

Users will have the ability to move and scale objects with finger-touch using natural hand movements, in conjunction with the precision of the “pen” for tasks such as writing or drawing.

Demonstrations of this next generation board will be held at two upcoming education technology trade shows – Florida Education Technology Conference, February 1 – 3, 2011 in Orlando, Florida, and Texas Computer Education Association conference, February 7 – 11, 2011 in Austin, Texas.
