Board with life

Board with life

The Mimio XI converts your existing whiteboard to a "smart" board. Stick the Mimio in the top left-hand corner of any size of board, fit the special caps to your dry marker pens (four colours can be recorded at once) and start brainstorming. Using ultrasonic and infra-red sensors, it tracks the position of the pen as you write or draw and stores the information in its memory. This can then be downloaded, edited and e-mailed to those who missed the live show. Presentations play back in real-time on any PC, and active documents and Web pages can be integrated, making the Mimio ideal for long distance collaboration. It is battery powered and can record up to 12 hours of words and pictures – more if you hook it up to your laptop. See www.mimio.com
