Interactive displays, also known as interactive whiteboards or flat panel displays, are electronic devices that allow users to interact with digital content using touch or gesture input.

They typically consist of a large display screen, a computer or other processing unit, and touch-sensitive technology that lets users control the display using their fingers or a stylus.

Interactive displays incorporate various technologies, including infrared, resistive, capacitive, and acoustic pulse recognition. Infrared interactive displays use infrared sensors to detect the presence of a finger or stylus on the screen.

Resistive interactive displays use a layer of pressure-sensitive material that deforms when pressed, allowing the display to detect the presence and location of a touch. Capacitive interactive displays use a layer of conductive material, such as indium tin oxide, that stores electrical charges.

When a finger or stylus touches the screen, it disrupts the electrical field, and the display can detect the touch. Acoustic pulse recognition interactive displays use sound waves to detect touch or gestures on the screen.

Interactive displays are ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, and retail environments. They are used to display and interact with digital content such as documents, videos, presentations, annotation, brainstorming, and other collaborative activities.

Interactive panels are valuable for creating user interfaces for websites, applications, and other digital platforms. They allow users to interact with the interface more intuitively and engagingly by providing buttons, sliders, and other controls that can be clicked or manipulated to perform different actions or adjust settings.

Interactive panels are handy when users need to input data, adjust settings, or make choices to use a product or service. For example, a weather app might use an interactive panel to allow users to select their location, choose a forecast period, or view different types of weather data.

Overall, interactive panels can make it easier and more enjoyable for users to interact with a product or service and can help to improve the user experience.

There are several ways to hang an interactive display, depending on its size, weight, and features, as well as the location and layout of the installation area. Some standard methods for hanging interactive displays include:

  1. Wall Mounting: A popular method for hanging interactive displays, mainly when the display is relatively lightweight and can be securely fastened to a wall with screws or other hardware. Wall mounting allows the display to be positioned at a comfortable height and angle for the user while saving space.
  2. Ceiling Mount: This method involves using brackets or other hardware to suspend the interactive display from the ceiling. Ceiling mounts are suitable for installations with limited floor space or where the display needs to be at a specific height or angle, such as in a dentist’s office.
  3. Stands or Pedestals: We provide stands for mounting our interactive displays, offering a convenient way to relocate the display as needed.

When selecting the best method for hanging an interactive display, it is crucial to consider the unique requirements of the installation. Factors to keep in mind may include:

  • The size and weight of the display.
  • The location and layout of the installation area.
  • The intended purpose of the display.
