10) DViT technology by SMART - break-through and award-winning
 Just one month after the
announcement, the new DViT (Digital Vision Touch) technology by SMART
Technologies Inc. is already award-winning. First the 2003 NSCA Innovations
in Technology-Video-Award, presented for the Rear Projection SMART Board
3000i interactive whiteboard with DViT technology at NSCA 2003 in Dallas, TX
and second the 2003 GCN Best New Technology Award for Display Devices,
presented by Government Computer News for the Rear Projection SMART Board
3000i interactive whiteboard with DViT technology at FOSE 2003 in Washington,
DC. The DViT technology uses
especially developed digital cameras and elaborate software to be able to
detect the touch of a finger, a pen or any other object on the display. The
cameras are positioned in the corners of the display and send a position
specification to a signal processor which calculates the exact position of
the contact. On the display itself no further materials are applied so that
the picture keeps its good quality and can be represented in brighter and higher
contrast.

11) NEC WT600 –world record projector- from 5,5cm distance to more than 1m
picture diagonal!
The new mirror projector WT600 by NEC offers large pictures in spite of
smallest distances to the wall. To reach this aim NEC developed an aspheric mirror
which prevents the usual distortions. At a projection distance of 5,5 to 65,0
cm the projector reaches picture diagonals of 1,02 to up to 2,54 m. Thus
large pictures can be generated in small rooms without any problems. The
WT600 offers a XGA resolution at 1200 ANSI lumens. The high contrast ratio of
2500:1 is reached by the newest generation of TI’s DLP Technology Chip with
DDR technology. This technology enables the miniature mirrors on the chip to
move faster than the ones on conventional DLP chips so that a better picture
quality can be guaranteed.

picture quality and saves up to 20 pages in the fast memory, so that you can
leaf through the memory back- and forward during the presentation. With the
included remote control various functions can be used (scroll, zoom, turning
the picture…). The PR-210X was shown at the trade fair for education by the
Canon trade partner PDS GmbH.

wide angle zoom lens (projection ratio of 1,3-1,5:1) can be used from a
distance of only 90 centimetres to the screen. The projectors are equipped
with all usual computer connections like DVI-I (digital/analogue) and D-Sub15
(Computer in / monitor out). If a control monitor is connected to the monitor
output the lecturer can keep an eye on the contents of the presentation while
presenting without having to turn to the screen. Thus he is able to keep the
direct contact to the audience.
