Made of a thin and lightweight material, the UPIC is easy to transport anywhere. The panel rolls up
and can be quickly packed away in its carrying case along with its few accompanying items: a digital
pen, dry-erase markers and an eraser.
The panel does not require any power and the digital pen transmits information to a PC via
Bluetooth®. Therefore, there is never any concern that someone might trip over a cord.
The magnetic back surface of the UPIC makes putting the panel into place extremely easy.
- ・Simply unroll the UPIC so that it attaches to a steel wall, whiteboard,chalkboard or similar surface.
- ・Project an image.
- ・Calibration is as quick as touching four targets with the digital pen.
- ・The UPIC program menu is intuitive and requires little training.
With the provided markers and eraser, you can write and erase just like when using a regular whiteboard. Furthermore, the UPIC can be used as a projection screen. Its unique surface minimizes the reflection and glare of a projector making viewing projected images more comfortable.
To achieve the feat of digital writing, a patent-protected dot pattern from Anoto has been added to the UPIC writing surface. The pattern, almost invisible to the naked eye, consists of numerous intelligent small black dots that can be read by the unique digital pen. The pattern indicates the exact positions of the digital pen and the pen sends this information to your PC via Bluetooth®.
The pen contains an integrated digital camera, an advanced image microprocessor and a mobile communications device for wireless connection.
When you write over the projected image, the unique pen takes digital snapshots (more than 50 pictures per second) of the dot pattern on the UPIC writing surface. Every snapshot contains enough data to determine the exact position of the pen. The data is transferred via Bluetooth® in real time to your computer which in turn projects the writing. This happens so quickly that it appears as if you are writing on the screen.
