SMART Podium interactive pen display

The University has acquired Smart Podium interactive pen displays to help teachers communicate more efficiently with students in postgraduate courses. These interactive pen displays are integrated into the lectern where classes are taught and, while projected onto the large screen, the professor will be able to use an interactive pen or his/her own finger to take notes or illustrate any content being shown.

• 24-inch touch screen
• Allows you to write on websites, documents, etc. and save notes in almost any type of file
• Intuitive interaction. Gestures can be used to comfortably move and work (pinch, zoom, rotate, flip) on notes and illustrations.
• Full HD
• Anti-reflective surface
• Wireless pen
