Group
Lillestrøm, Norway -- During the SkoleForum education
trade show the Oslo-based audio-visual distributor Osnes
Nordic Group AS unveiled a custom-made, eBeam-enabled
interactive whiteboard measuring nearly 49.2 feet (15 meters)
wide -which sets the world record for the Largest
Interactive Whiteboard.

interactive capabilities using 3-D educational software developed
for teaching about the human body with interactive whiteboards.
Now, imagine being able to use that
whiteboard to display complex three-dimensional drawings to
an entire auditorium, while adding notes with an interactive
stylus and capturing and manipulating text, images and video,
all of which can be saved and shared via the Internet in real
time.
The system demonstrated at SkoleForum featured
more than 7 times greater display and data capture area than
today’s largest conventional interactive whiteboards.
“Our award-winning eBeam technology plays
a key role in this groundbreaking project,” said Luidia
CEO Rafi Holtzman. “This unprecedented achievement illustrates
the flexibility of our technology to turn any flat surface
into an interactive one, regardless of size.”
“We are very proud to have Luidia’s eBeam solutions
as the major component in this effort,” said Osnes Nordic
Group Partner Rolf Ravne. “Osnes Nordic Group has had tremendous
success with Luidia
products and this further demonstrates the flexibility and
scalability of eBeam systems.”
To provide interactive data-capture
and display capabilities across the giant whiteboard, the
demonstration used six eBeam® Edge receivers linked to six
computers and six digital projectors.
Luidia’s portable eBeam receivers
use infrared and ultrasound signals to precisely track the
location of transmitter-equipped stylus pens, transforming
any flat surface – including classroom and conference room
whiteboards, LCD displays, tables and walls – into fully-featured,
interactive whiteboards.
