The Benefits of Using Interactive Displays to Engage Audiences
Display technology of yesteryear was cumbersome and not particularly user-friendly, however, with modern advances interactive displays are becoming much easier to use and offer a wide range of flexibility when it comes to function. Some of the benefits of using interactive displays to engage an audience include:- It is ready to go when you are. Gone are the days of having to read a complicated one-hundred-page manual before there was any hope of operating display technology. New interactive displays are outfitted with an onboard processor and hard drive components which means it does not depend on an additional external device to operate. Everything a user needs is located in one place but offers extra ports in the event that a user would like to connect a supplemental device.
- It can enhance presentations and lessons. Interactive displays should come with standard software that helps teachers and business executives compile presentations with visual aides such as calendars, lessons, idea concepts, and web content.
- The sky is the limit. A reputable interactive flat panel will offer almost unlimited access to extra content that allows for creative meeting and lesson planning by effortlessly integrating web resources.
What Sets Clevertouch Interactive Flat Panel Technology Apart

While technology is constantly advancing and more interactive flat panel solutions are becoming available, it is important to compare apples to apples for each solution. Some considerations to keep in mind as you research interactive flat panel solutions should be:- Is it geared for businesses, schools, or both? Ideally, if the panel works for school and business use alike, it can be the best of both worlds as some schools may need capability for a business meeting and some businesses may need to utilize the program to teach employees a new concept.
- Does it offer access to additional educational resources for teachers, and will it cost extra? With the Clevertouch offering additional education resources at no extra cost, that is the price to beat.
- Does it come in multiple sizes? An organization may need several interactive flat panels for different spaces, which will most likely require different size offerings to be the most effective.
- What is the onboard mic and speaker quality like? As part of a presentation, speaker and microphone qualities should be excellent.
- What types of software can it utilize and what capabilities will that offer? Ideally, a flat panel should work with a variety of software and do so seamlessly.
- How many USB ports does it feature for added connectivity? On average, the more USB ports for additional connectivity, the better, as it can further enhance a presentation with even more components.
- Is it priced to provide what I need or is it overpriced for extra bells and whistles? Ensure that the price paid is reflective of what you need. Work with a reputable AV integrator to decide which model of the Clevertouch is the ideal fit for the school or business.
