Factor Considerations
Visibility The display’s screen is clearly visible to all users in the room. SMART
recommends users sit within a 178° viewing area:
NOTE
The viewing area depends on the display’s resolution and a variety of other
factors. For more information, see the knowledge base article,
Recommended viewing distances and viewing angles for SMARTBoard
interactive displays.
Lighting The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong
overhead lighting.
Risks of light interference include:
o
Reduced visibility: Light sources can cause glare on the display’s screen,
reducing its visibility.
o
Touch system interference: Many displays use infrared (IR) light as a key
component of the touch system. Strong light that hits the display’s screen
directly can cause interference with the touch system and prevent the
display from working properly.
TIP
To reduce light interference, install blinds or shades on windows or skylights
and install switches to dim or turn off any lights shining directly on the
display’s screen. Keep in mind that sunlight can come through windows at
different angles at different times of the year.
Acoustics The room has good acoustics.
