The receiver:

Part 2 - Some advantages of the uBoard interactive whiteboard

The second reason that uBoard is outstanding value is performance.

The uBoard receiver contains a dedicated ASIC chip which takes the load off your computer and means that there is very little lag when writing or performing functions.
The pen operates with high accuracy which really helps when trying to write/draw intricate shapes. The system is also very resistant to interference due to the built in sampling software.

Despite the small size of the receiving unit (22cms long), it can read an image up to 3m diagonally. This is larger than needed for most classrooms/meeting rooms.

The pen is recognised as a native HID pen device in Microsoft Windows which means you have full control of the excellent Microsoft tablet functions (in Vista and Windows 7).

Part 1 - Some Advantages of the uBoard interactive whiteboard

Quality, performance, features, and price are the reasons we truly believe uBoard is the best value interactive whiteboard available.

Lets start with quality.
Experience: The manufacturers have nearly ten years experience in this type of technology and have 22 patents / pending patents involved with the product.
Quality: It is made in South Korea in the designer's factory rather than being cheaply made in a low labour cost country. This means that quality control is excellent and uBoard is durable enough to survive in hard use settings like classrooms. It also means that factory support is available and allows us to offer a 2 years warranty with confidence.
Every aspect of the product reflects this committment to quality. When you open the box you will find each component carefully and securely positioned.





The inner box itself is an attractive way to transport the system and closes securely with a magnetic latch.

New Interactive Whiteboard Launch

3Pi are excited to announce that they have launched their new interactive whiteboard product - uBoard!. The uBoard system provides the best value interactive whiteboard to educational institutions and businesses. It can be fitted to any existing whiteboard or flat surface in a couple of minutes. This removes the cost around a fixed board installation and also provides the flexibility to move the system as needs change. For full details, have a look at http://www.3pinteract.co.nz/

uBoard and Active Link

Several people have asked how the uBoard system can can be used without having to install any software. The answer is due to a very clever feature called Active Link®

Active Link® is actually a small usb device that contains all the software. You can still choose to permanently install the software if you want to, but there are several great advantages given by not having to.

Firstly, it means you can use uBoard with several computers without having to worry about the expense and hassle of buying multiple licences. It also means that you can use the system in very security conscious network environments because you don't have to install a programme.

The third key advantage is that it makes the system truly 'plug and play' - plug in Active Link® and start interacting!
