86" Multi-touch Display
Viewsonic 86" 4K multi-touch display
The Dark Lab has been outfitted with a large, two meter wide multi-touch screen.
It has a built-in drawing app for sketching and (groupwise) ideation, but you can also plug in your computer and use it for touch-based interaction - or just as a big 4K monitor!
How to use it?
To use your computer instead: just plug in the USB-C cable provided! This should work for both the video and touch data.
Please use the stylus pens whenever you can, as it is a giant fingerprint magnet!
Feel free to use finger-based interaction - just use the micro-fiber cloth and screen cleaner spray when you are done (be gentle ;))
Using the built-in whiteboard
The Viewboard has very capable built-in whiteboard functionality. It's vector-basedbased, non-destructive (i.e. you can change edits later on) with infinite canvas and hasplus a bunch of neat functions.
The styluses have a sharp pointed side and a blunt side. The touch board can tell the difference, and will let you assign different colors depending on which side you used to touch the color pallette.
For some nice videos about its other whiteboard functions see here:
Viewsonic 'Basic Whiteboarding' how-to videos
You can load / save your sketches onto a memory stick or hard drive by plugging it into the USB ports on the front of the device.
In the whiteboard app or home screen, tap the folder-shaped icon to bring up the options for saving and loading files.
Although you can store files on the device itself, DO NOT store anything personal/sensitive that you do not want others to see!!
