When you touch the interactive whiteboard’s surface, the interactive whiteboard registers the
horizontal and vertical (or x and y) coordinates on the interactive surface. The computer’s mouse
driver interprets those coordinates and moves the pointer to the corresponding point on the
projected image.
WARNING
Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of the SMARTBoard
product. Instead, safely fix the product at the appropriate height on a wall or use a SMART floor
stand.
