What are the limitations of IS-01 compared to expensive traditional interactive whiteboards?
1148038
- Traditional interactive whiteboards can be operated with fingers and other materials, while IS-01 only works with its Interactive Pen. - The Interactive Pen must remain within view of the Sensor Cam to work. The user (or viewers) cannot block the area between the Cam and the Pen with their body. This limitation does not apply to traditional interactive whiteboards. - IS-01 does not support multi-touch functions. Only 1 Interactive Pen can be used at a time. Some traditional interactive whiteboards do support multi-touch. Please take these facts into consideration before making your purchase. Carefully weighing the benefits and limitations of IS-01 will help you decide which whiteboard setup is the right one for your needs.

So far I have just used it for the cool factor. You can write a program in Scratch or other application that uses the keyboard, and then, instead, use the Makey Makey interface as the keyboard (e.g., the banana can make the guy move left in your game). I haven't done, it but it looks like you can use tinfoil as an interface...so you could set up a rudimentary alarm system on your steps, for example. See this site for lots of examples http://makeymakey.com/gallery/

No. The white board is simply a white board. It would be nice it it were though!

Probably if you are really good at embeded systems. It is not something built in out of the box though.

The white board is magnetic, but there is not a storage component for the magnets or pen (which seems to work out fine).

I cant say for sure,but wouldn't a large board be better? It has wrked with various laptop, PCs and tablets. Seems might be cumbersome for smart TV? It doesn't come with a good device?

It would be slow. Try read, write and gold version 11 program. You scan the pages and it converts it to speech.

I use it to tutor online students with the work they have to do or practice over work that I have on my computer. It is a huge white board! I can also sketch my future paintings. The system inside? Wacom has a good description. The company includes several free software programs with your purchase, so that you can use the Cintiq immediately. Great tool!

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution. As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting. My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre.

I was having a very hard time until I thoroughly cleaned my whiteboard. Even though it looked clean, apparently it had some sort of build-up on it. I wiped it down several times with a commercial whiteboard cleaner after having absolutely no luck. While never a "breeze," calibration became easier and faster after cleaning my board and never writing on it at all while using the Now Board.

Not exactly sure..it works well. I use it in a school to make old documents editable

Pretty much okay for school work. As for high-tech games, I don't know. Support from ASUS was not the best as they couldn't tell me anything about disabling the annoying "gestures" feature. To do that, go to Control Panel --&gt; Hardware and Sound --&gt; ASUS Smart Gesture.

Hi Ben K,Yes, the IS-01 can work on a normal wall but do note that a smooth surface is necessary for best results. You may encounter difficulties in writing or tapping with the Interactive Pen if the wall surface is rugged. If you do not already have a white board, you can check out our 60 inch or 70 inch magnetic whiteboard at 60-Inch Projection Screen with Magnetic Backing - Turn Any Surface into a Glare Free Projection Screen or 70-Inch Projection Screen with Magnetic Backing - Turn Any Surface into a Glare Free Projection Screen . If you have any further questions, kindly let us know too!Sincerely,The IPEVO Team Hi Ben K,Yes, the IS-01 can work on a normal wall but do note that a smooth surface is necessary for best results.

I wish I could answer your question, but I have used an old one for about 5 years, and I am not very savvy about electronics. I can tell you that its sensitivity and accuracy is significantly better than my OLD one, although I pretty much only use it to write emails and other office work. I am satisfied with it, if that helps you at all.

Good enough for experimentation. Having components wired into the board prevents loss, and therefore the only things kids are likely to lose are the jumper wires (which are easily replaced). The board is cardboard, so can't stand up to much abuse, but it's boxed in such a way as to protect the edges. I would just be careful not to spill anything or drop anything heavy on it. I bought one for myself a few years ago, and ended up giving it to my nephew last year. Now my niece wants one for her birthday (which is why I ordered it from Amazon...it's sitting here right now, gift-wrapped, waiting for her arrival tomorrow). Back when I was first getting into electronics, it would have been ideal; the first kit I tried as a kid was troublesome with regard to lost components and broken leads.

The "IS" is part of the full name for the A1000IS and A590IS, but sometimes people just leave it out. There are not IS and non-IS versions of the A1000[IS] and A590[IS]. Canon's including it into the formal names is useful to distinguish them from some models that lack[ed] IS. For example the earlier A540 lacked IS. The current economy model, the A480, lacks IS.

Hi Nadine, I wouldn't recommend it for teaching. It's a good size for a personal board, but I wouldn't go below about twice the size of this for teaching (I'm a TA at a university and let me tell you: there is no such thing as too big a whiteboard).
