Interactive Display vs. Interactive Whiteboard
Interactive Whiteboard
• The coach can not see the players
whilst drawing or annotating
• The Interactive Whiteboard has to be
mounted near the floor (less than
100mm) for the ideal working height.
• This creates problem for viewing
audience
• Un-natural writing experience for the
coach

• Steep angle of projection creates key stoning and poor projector
operation. This is where the bottom of the image is wider than the top
• Fixed installation, no flexibility.
• Limited in actual screen size
• Poor picture quality – Hotspot
• Audience are blocked by each other from viewing the screen

Interactive Display vs. Interactive Whiteboard
Interactive Pen Display

• Coach is always facing the audience

clearly

chosen technology, any projector
screen size, plasma, LCD, Video
Wall
