Understanding how your interactive whiteboard
works
Your interactive whiteboard functions as an input device for your computer, just like a mouse, enabling you
to work in any application on your computer from your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
When you touch your interactive whiteboard’s screen, your interactive whiteboard detects the contact’s
horizontal and vertical (or x,y) coordinates. Your computer’s mouse driver interprets these coordinates and
moves the pointer to the corresponding point on the screen.
Using your interactive whiteboard requires a computer and a digital projector. These components work
together as follows:
l Your computer runs an application, and then sends the image to your projector.
l Your projector casts the image onto your interactive whiteboard.
l Your interactive whiteboard acts both as your computer’s monitor and its input devices, i.e., mouse
and keyboard, enabling you to control any application by touching the screen.
