älytaulu

An älytaulu, often translated as "smartboard" or "interactive whiteboard," is a display that responds to touch input. It functions as a projector screen and a touch-sensitive surface, allowing users to control a connected computer by touching the board or using a special pen. This technology integrates standard whiteboarding functions with computer control, enabling users to write, draw, and manipulate digital content directly on the board.

The älytaulu typically connects to a computer and a projector. The projector displays the computer's screen onto the älytaulu's surface. Sensors within the board detect the position of a finger or stylus, translating these movements into cursor commands on the computer. This interaction allows for dynamic presentations, collaborative work sessions, and engaging educational activities. Software accompanying the älytaulu provides tools for annotation, saving work, and accessing various digital resources.

These devices are commonly found in educational institutions, from classrooms to lecture halls, and in corporate meeting rooms for presentations and brainstorming. Their interactive nature facilitates a more dynamic and participatory approach to teaching and business communication. The ability to save notes and annotate directly onto digital content enhances efficiency and knowledge sharing.
