Your SMARTDocumentCamera can transform any classroom or lecture hall into a spontaneous and
interactive learning environment. It uses a high-resolution video camera to display clear and detailed
images of written material or any physical object.
Mixed Reality Tools takes this experience to a new level by providing teachers and students with a
new way to engage with digital 3D content.
This chapter provides the information you need to begin using Mixed Reality Tools with your
SMARTDocumentCamera as well as Google™ SketchUp™ and 3DWarehouse.
Mixed Reality Tools provides an intuitive way for students and teachers to explore digital content with
the document camera. This technology is integrated with SMARTNotebook software.
