Sharp 70" Interactive Touchscreen Winnipeg Demo Days

Grant's Perspective on ... The Sharp 70" interactive touchscreen demonstrations in Winnipeg.

Staff from Sharp Electronics of Canada were in our Winnipeg office for a couple of days this week demonstrating the PNL702B 70" interactive touchscreen monitor.  It would take quite awhile to go through all the features so I will touch on a few points today.

Computer and Monitor Control - The included infrared "pen" works like a PC mouse with right and left click buttons and as an annotation pen. You can also use your fingers instead of the pen. You can drag and tap your finger on the screen to open folders and documents, move them around the screen and even use two fingers to size documents. I feel like I'm in an episode of CSI when using the 70" touchscreen!

You can open up a keyboard graphic and type into any program that you have on your computer.

 In the photo below, Nick Hoxha, Sharp Digital Presentation and Signage Group has opened an excel spread sheet and updated some of the fields numbers. He has then highlighted his changes in two ways: yellow highlighter and circled in red.

 

The next photo has Nick playing arm-chair quarterback as he analyzes and annotates a football video posted on YouTube.

 BTW - You can see a copier in the foreground of the photos. Nick also demonstrated how the monitor can both send and receive information from the Sharp copier. 

I'm sure to be posting more on this product in the coming weeks.
