The new ActivBoard 500 Pro range delivers a new generation of applications and multi-touch technology, that combines advanced technology with intuitive Pen and Touch capability. ActivBoard 500 Pro supports additional Windows 7 functionality.

Why Develop a Board with Multi-Touch as well as pen? The mouse, the pen, the pointer or the “tools” that this precision device operates will not disappear. The future of interactive whiteboard teaching and learning is not about “replacing” pens with “touch” but rather developing a new “multi-touch” interface that allows users to customize their interactive experience.
