About the display
The SMART Board
®
MX or MX Pro interactive display with iQ is the hub of your classroom.
The display includes an extensive set of features and components:
Touch
You can do everything on the display that you can do at your computer—open and close applications,
meet with others, create new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play and manipulate videos,
and so on—by touching the display’s surface.
You can use an array of gestures within applications, including panning, scaling, rotating, and zooming
in and out.
Writing, drawing, and erasing
The display comes with two pens, which you can use to write or draw on the screen.
Use your fist or palm to erase digital ink on the screen.
With Object Awareness
™
, the display responds automatically to the tool or object you’re using, whether
it’s a pen, finger, or palm. The display’s Simultaneous Tool Differentiation technologies allow two people
to write independently and simultaneously.
