ViewSonic, innovative educational technology provider and leader in global visual solutions, announced the launch of its newest 24-inch touch monitor that will deliver a smart podium solution to schools. The monitor is armed with an MPP 2.0 active screen that comes with a 10-finger touch function. The monitor will replace the traditional non-touch screens and will enable teachers to operate all functions with just a touch. The screen can also accurately represent the actual strokes of a handwriting providing a highly intuitive experience for teachers.
"ViewSonic has actively promoted the digital transformation of education. Earlier, to the cater to digital writing needs of teachers, we launched the lightweight and portable 7-inch and 13-inch ViewBoard pen displays. We understand that the podium plays a vital role as a control center for the modern classroom. Therefore, we are launching the smart podium solution with the ID2456 at its core, transforming the traditional teaching environment into a modern classroom with real-time interaction. As a result, teachers can bring their teaching creativity into full play, achieving better teacher-student interaction and significantly improving teaching efficiency."
-George Lee, General Manager of the Pen Display and Authentication Business Unit at ViewSonic
The brand new monitor makes using peripheral devices obsolete as it no longer requires a mouse, keyboard, or presentation pens to open files, edit materials or even drag and drop items. In addition, the 4K HDMI output port connects to the classroom’s existing LED display or projector, delivering a 4K high-definition projection on the large screen.
