Feature highlights
Commercial-grade, touch-enabled flat panel
Your SMARTBoard 8055i interactive flat panel features SMART’s proprietary DViT® (Digital Vision
Touch) technology on an LCD screen which enables you to select, write and erase on the interactive
surface. It enables you to do everything you can do at your computer—open and close applications,
conference with others, create new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play and
manipulate video clips and more—just by touching the interactive surface. Two users can also draw
on the interactive surface at the same time, and you can use an array of gestures within applications.
Elegant, sophisticated design
The professional design and crisp, eye-catching visuals of the SMARTBoard 8055i interactive flat
panel make it perfect for any high-end workspace.
Software
To use all the features of your interactive flat panel described in this guide, go to
smarttech.com/downloads and ensure that you have the latest version of SMART software and
SMART Product Drivers installed on your computer.
Presence detection
The interactive flat panel has two presence detection sensors on its frame that can detect people up
to 16' (5 m) away. When the sensors detect people in the room, the interactive flat panel turns on.
When the sensors no longer detect people in the room, the interactive flat panel turns off.
Dual sketch capabilities
Two people can each pick up a pen and draw on the interactive surface at the same time, providing a
higher degree of interactivity.
SMARTInk™
SMARTInk enables you to write and draw in digital ink over open applications, files, folders,
websites and any other open window on your computer. When you write outside the open windows on
your computer, a SMARTInk Note appears and you can write inside the note.
When you open an application that has its own ink tools, you can turn off SMARTInk, and then use
the application's ink tools to write in the content.
