SMART Dual-Touch Technology - A Single Interactive Whiteboard & Two Users

SMART Board SBD600 is one of the most appreciated series of interactive whiteboards from SMART Technologies. By employing the special Dual-Touch technology that allows the use of the work surface by two individuals simultaneously, SBD600 ensures great flexibility when teaching and gives the opportunity to work with much more creative applications that encourage teamwork among students.

The dual-operation system is possible via SMART Notebook software. By pressing a single button, the work surface is divided in half, thus creating an individual workspace for each user. By using the fingers or special markers, the students interact and for instance can solve a problem as a team or by competing with each other or can complete different assignments on the same whiteboard, etc.

The main benefits of the SMART Board Dual-Touch interactive whiteboards are:

• Supports collaboration and teamwork between users
• Capability for 2 people to use the whiteboard simultaneously
• Quick switching between single- and dual-user mode
