The purpose of Bett 2018 is to bring inspiration to the coming year, as well as be a place to discuss the future of education and the role of technology and innovation in making educators successful.

What are JTouch models capable of?

INF7530eAG– The best JTouch yet for educational purposes

Touch DisplayThe JTouch INF7530eAG impresses with its user-friendly interface equipped with a total touch control and brilliant 4K-resolution on the 75” anti-glare screen. The built-in functions for learning purposes and the ability to use native Android apps makes JTouch a perfect companion to daily learning practice. The whiteboard function with a web browser, media player, and Air-Play feature allows you to add notes to desired applications, videos, websites and documents. The well-known touch gestures , such as wiping, zooming and tapping, work seamlessly as part of the hardware. This makes using a remote control obsolete with this JTouch model. Via five different USB-B ports, HDMI sources can be connected.

INF4030 – DigiEasel, the interactive whiteboard and display

JTouch DisplayThe JTouch meets the requirements on display in the education branch without compromise. Thanks to the practical and handy 40-inch size, the interactive whiteboard fits easily in every classroom. Depending on the orientation, the touchscreen can be adjusted to either in portrait or landscape format. The integrated whiteboard software simplifies collaboration and allows for up to date results to be immediately captured and shared with each participant after the lesson.

Forecast for 2018: How digital innovations will influence our world of work and occupation

Companies all over the world undergo digital transformations. Or, at the least, they instigate such transformations. This process requires an appropriate corporate culture and, in most cases, collaboration with other companies.

But, at an incredible speed, digital innovations can destroy a company. Most CEOs feel obliged to go along with and to re-establish their companies anew at the market every year.

Forecast 2018 - Touch Displays

 

The digital transformation ranks at the top of many organisational priorities for the year 2018, but such a global matter requires a more complicated solution than merely implementing a couple of specific technological tools.

InFocus has consciously utilised its strengths and relies on close cooperation and rapid exchange of ideas. The Huddle Room and its accessories should grow as one of these digital innovations.

Trends of the digital innovations

  • Customer experience: All roots for business success are said to be borne by the customer. To communicate a general idea of a brand and experience to the customer, it is necessary to provide them with the right data on the right platform at the right time.
  • Optimised intelligence: A rough overview of the customer’s intentions and desires is no longer enough, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. Now companies can track the buyers’ behaviour across multiple platforms. Thus, they must be able to recognise, respond and communicate it in a timely and appropriate manner.
  • Operational performance: The Cloud concept has expanded more and more along with increasingly faster bandwidths and improved technical facilities. Service providers offer memory space on their servers as well as online services for a fee. This gives companies more financial and operational efficiency, since they can access their data from everywhere. Now, the core matter is not only the provision of data and ideas, but rather efficient delivery and automation.

Huddle Room JTouch

With the Huddle Room and the JTouch INF4030 perfectly suited to this need, “InFocus” has not only managed to establish itself on the market with the most important data, but has found a way of ensuring fine and precise collaboration with internal and external partners. The third indispensable requirement of establishing digital innovations is to be fulfilled by the optional ConX Cloud solution that can be activated via any computer with connection to Internet.

JTouch Touch DisplayAll in all, the future of the digital transformation is oriented at both technology and people’s needs. With a Huddle Room, you can quickly and flexibly connect and manage the entire assortment of Cloud and local applications and data, as well as people’s connections.

Every year, original digital innovations will dominate the market in a new manner and, thereby, outshining old technologies. Secure a Huddle Room equipped with the INF4030 for yourself – and for efficient and close cooperation with your partners – so as not to be left behind!

The entire InFocus team wishes you and your company a merry Christmas and a successful, innovative year in 2018!

Education made easy with the JTouch INF7530eAG Touch Display

“The JTouch really offers all interactive features you could wish for – from drawing with all colours and video playback to instant connection without the need to install a new app every time.”
– Brian Nadel, Computerworld

Old-fashioned projectors with slides chalkboards have long fallen out of fashion. This is no longer a secret. Today’s methods of teaching in the classroom should be adapted to the speed of learning and the learning needs of modern students.

JTouch Display

With its INF7530eAG, InFocus has created a touch display that can be individually adjusted to any area of education or age group. This makes it indispensable in the classroom.

The best JTouch to date for educational purposes

The touch display equipped with Android and interactive Whiteboard functions is the most reliable partner in the classroom. With the subdivided, multi-screen display, teachers can select any background with space for manual drawings, diagrams and notes, in order to individually adjust the JTouch to the needs of their students. With a wide range of digital input pens, markers, shapes, lines and colours, the lecturers and their students can draw, write and add elements – and all with just a finger.

Touch DisplayThanks to the JTouch’s intuitive touch function, you can easily delete, zoom and access pull-up menus. On the touch display, teachers and students can draw with one finger, move content with two fingers and delete contents from the whiteboard with three fingers. With a simple swipe gesture on the left or right side of the screen, you can retrieve the complete menu and additional options.

For the 75-inch JTouch with razor-sharp 4K resolution and anti-reflection coating, neither a remote control nor the usual cable clutter is necessary. In the INF7530eAG, all robust features of the LightCast technology are integrated. Teachers and students can exchange presentations, videos, photos and documents via the digital whiteboard, using the complete range of functions completely wirelessly.

With the Internet browser installed on the touch display, you can easily perform an Internet search and install Android applications or games.

A touch display that supports collaboration

Collaboration means working together. To effectively work together in the classroom, you must allow for a trouble-free exchange of ideas and content at the end of the lesson.

JTouch Education Display

You can connect up to eight devices To use the touch operation of the graphical user interface, HDMI sources can be connected to five different USB-B ports. I/O ports on the front side of the display allow for easy connection, viewing and touch operation from any PC via HDMI and touch-USB.

In order to enhance the performance and extend the power spectrum of the JTouch, an optional extension with an OPS Windows computer module is also available.

Turn your classroom into a digital learning environment with the INF7530eAG, and your lessons will be slower to fall into oblivion.

How to clean a touch screen correctly and why you should avoid window cleaner

If you use a touchscreen regularly, you can hardly avoid dust, dirt and grease marks. When removing dust or fingerprints from your last contact with your touch screen, you should pay particular attention to using the right cleaning agent and correctly dealing with it.

Modern touch displays are brighter, sharper, more reactive , and are actually very robust against scratches. They at risk of the most danger when cleaned the wrong way – it can happen very quickly, and before you realize it, your touchscreen is damaged forever.

Correct cleaning does not cost much. So, you can save your touch screenfrom an untimely end.

What should you avoid when cleaning the touch screen?

  • Never apply the cleaning liquid directly onto the screen. Touch screens are manufactured from fine materials and glass – layer by layer. If you directly spray the cleaner onto it, the liquid can penetrate into the corners and then between the thin layers, causing large black spots on the touch screen. Although over the course of time they can become smaller, they will never disappear completely.

  • Never use paper towels or a multipurpose cleaning cloth. The surface of a paper towel is still too rough and causes abrasions. Cleaning with a traditional cloth can cause stains and scratches on the touch screen. A multipurpose cleaning cloth with which someone has cleaned a lunch table can cause devastating damage even from minimal residue left on it.
  • Never use alcohol or ammonia-based cleaning detergents! Touch screens usually have nice shiny surfaces covered with anti-reflex coating. By cleaning with aggressive chemicals, this layer will be removed – this can result in cloudiness and malfunctions, such as the reduction of capacitive properties of the touch screen.

How to clean the touch screen correctly?

    1. First, the touch screen should be prepared for cleaning. Turn off the screen and, preferably, disconnect it completely from any power sources. Clean the touch screen only when it has cooled down.
    2. A dry micro-fibre cloth is ideally suited for removing dust from touch screens, since it does no harm to the surface of the screen. Clean the touch screen with slow and gentle movements – never circular movements!

      Source: https://www.howtogeek.com/170080/the-how-to-geek-guide-to-cleaning-your-lcd-monitor-screen/

    3. The next step is to moisten the micro-fibre cloth with distilled water or a special screen cleaning agent to remove adherent dust and dirt. Do not use tap water: it usually always contains mineral deposits that can leave traces on the touch screen. A second cleaning with a dry cloth is not necessary.
    4. In a simple and low-cost way, you can avoid scratches, surface damage and after-clean cloudiness on your valuable touch screen. The special screen cleaning agent is much cheaper than a new screen and usually enough for many cleanings.

What your touch screen is cleaned with must not be left to chance! Better you procure the right cleaning agent (a set consisting of a cloth & fluid for each screen to be stored in the same room) beforehand so that you can enjoy your touch screen for a long time to come.

The Conference System for Any Kind of Huddle Room: The 40″ JTouch from InFocus

Some people say that the idea of huddle rooms has its origins in the 1980s, and its promotion was something ‘to think about’. Those born between 1980-2000 grew up well-versed in technologies and have now taken the world of work by storm, re-designing it at record speeds. There is no doubt that these people born into a digital world are very socialised and active. In order to meet the needs of this generation, corporate offices and universities provide open spaces, collaborative environments and so-called huddle rooms.

Old Concept Newly Designed: Huddle Rooms

Conference SystemHuddle rooms are small meeting rooms or areas where teams of up to 6 people can optimally work together. They are rooms for internal team meetings and presentations, but also for video conferencing and, on occasion, for discussions with customers. A special feature of huddle rooms is their particular suitability for spontaneous meetings carried out quickly, non-bureaucratically and as a team. The aim of the huddle room is close cooperation and a fast exchange of ideas.

An important aspect of huddle room equipment is visualisation solutions. It is not only the size and appearance of display screens , but also the many other professional features needed for successful collaboration. For example, the display screen must not be too large for a small meeting room and should have an attractive design that fits with the style of each modern company. In addition, it should offer all features for intuitive use and allow interactive collaboration regardless of existing systems and related hardware.

40” Large Interactive Screen for the JTouch Series: The Modern Alternative to Paper, Pen and Whiteboard

Conference SystemJTouch uncompromisingly meets all requirements for a huddle room display. Due to its practical and handy 40-inch size , the interactive whiteboard easily fits into any huddle room. The touch can be placed in portrait or landscape format, depending on the orientation of the selected room.

The JTouch DigiEasel can be connected to any kind of PC, Mac or chrome-book via HDMI, Component Video, VGA or USB ports. Meeting participants can immediately begin interacting with the conferencing system without much effort.

The integrated whiteboard software simplifies working together. In the huddle room, meeting participants can make notes of their ideas immediately – in diverse colours, shapes and images, with a touch pen or without. After the meeting, the notes and screen contents can be saved, for example, on an USB stick, and then sent to all participants by e-mail for later development and elaboration of their ideas.

Conference SystemAnd there are even more options: if you connect a Windows or Mac notebook to the JTouch and this computer has Internet access, you can even include persons in the meeting who are in other rooms, in their home offices or even on business trips with the optional ConX cloud solution. You can share either data or video signals, so everyone can contribute to a successful meeting outcome.

A huddle room is already a must for each company office. Impress your guests with a professional high-tech whiteboard – they will really have fun brainstorming as they use it!

The perfect presentation – Touch screens against boredom

“More than 80 percent of all presentations are boring or even soporific.”

The Wall Street Journal recently came to this shocking result. Only 3% of the presentations held in companies inspire listeners and viewers, attract attention and thus contribute to simplifying work in the first place. There are multiple reasons for this. Often, there is simply fear of modern presentation technology behind it.

With some exercise, a children’s game

Presentations and meetings are intended to define project objectives, to coordinate project partners and improvetheir collaboration in the company. Overloaded slides, a monotonous lecture style as well as a lack of know-how on the touch screen often make a presentation a disaster only after a short time.

Before you begin with your presentation on the touch screen at all, you should ask yourself: Are my slides designed simply and attractively? Am I able to speak as freely as possible? Am I familiar with the touch screen? If you have to answer even one of these questions with “no”, this means: Practice makes perfect!

present at the touch screen - the perfect presentation

Here are some more general tips:

  1. Communicate only one message per slide. Not all people are multitasking. If your audience is constantly busy with reading, no one will listen to you.
  2. Do not read from your presentation slides and never turn your back on your audience. Maintain eye contact and respond to feedback from your audience.
  3. Use your touch screen as a resource for entertaining, interactive presentations. Reduce your stress factor by acquainting yourself with the technology and practicing with your touch screen.

Touch screen JTouch INF6500eAG for diversified presentations

Our 65-inch touch screen of the JTouch display series helps you to make your presentation interesting and, at the same time, as stress-free as possible. Connect the JTouch INF6500eAG to your notebook or PC and control your presentation directly via the large-format touch screen. The advantage is that you can better inspire your audience because you may control elements and slides during the presentation easily on the big screen and you do not have to stick spellbound to your PC or notebook.

Touch screen JTouch INF6500e by InFocus - the perfect presentation

The capacitive touch screen with anti-glare display provides a light and colour touch experience that can be controlled by an easy-to-use touch screen technology, because you already know the technology from your iPhone: The JTouch INF6500eAG works with the same effortless gesture control (for example, “wiping”, “tapping”, “dragging”) like smart phones or tablets.

Another plus: Add the wireless InFocus LiteShow 4 adapter to the JTouch INF6500eAG in order to easily exchange data, audio, and video files using a WLAN connection. This exempts you from intimidating cable spaghetti, reduces your stress factor and accelerates the presentation.

How-to: Presentations o the touch screen – Part II

How to best display your content on the touch screen

About 30 million presentations are held around the world every day. Of these, 90% are considered to be boring and uninteresting “time wasters” for spectators or listeners. Therefore, not infrequently, a tormented groan from the workforce of a company is likely to occur when a presentation is announced for the next meeting: Stupidly designed slides with hardly readable contents, incomprehensible explanatory attempts, no possibility of active participation. It is unimaginable, how much time and money thereby is at stake for companies. InFocus donates you precious working hours: We show you how every presentation with a touch screen will become a success!

How every presentation with a touch screen will become a success!

Touch screen devices from InFocus

InFocus is one of the market leaders for visual communication. For what reason? Because our innovative solutions, also in the field of touch display, always set new standards. Our touch screens JTouch, Mondopad and BigTouch enable presentations, video conferences and digital signage at the highest level.

Tips and tricks for a presentation with the InFocus touch screen which remains in the memory

Tips and tricks for a presentation which remains in the memory

Getting the best out of collaboration through simple communication, creating content, saving and sharing – with a touch-screen model from InFocus, you captivate your audience! Even external employees can participate in a presentation, whether connected via their own PC, the tablet or the smart phone.

 

 

Thanks to a wide range of connection facilities, such as HDMI, VGA and USB interfaces, the InFocus touch screen PCs offer versatile connectivity. Whether the interactive Mondopad touch PCs in full-HD and with integrated Windows computer as well as a collaboration suite, the Full HD BigTouch devices with integrated Windows 8 computer or the full-HD JTouch series for interactive digital signage with precise touch screen technology – InFocus makes presentations the popular must-do on the to-do lists.

In order to make your presentation on the touch screen a success, you should consider the following:

  • No false start: Forget the sneaky introductory sentences like “Today I am holding a presentation on the subject of xy.” You will be captivating your colleagues from the start with an exciting introduction to the topic.
  • Talk freely instead of reading: Anyone who reads a pre-written presentation word for word must reckon with a small attention from the audience. A monotonous lecture has a soporific effect and often prevents the release of one’s own thoughts.
  • Do not forget your body language. Communication works on several levels, the body language accounts for about 55% of the effect. Take full advantage of this potential.
  • Observe the font size: Your presentation might not only fail with overloaded slides, but also with a too small font. Often, the audience is able to see the text on the touch screen but not to read it. Especially for smaller touch displays, this is an important point that must be observed.
  • With the back turned to the touch screen: Your presentation will become a success, if the audience spellbound will hang to your every word. For this reason, position yourself with your back turned to the touch screen.
  • Active presentation style: What has been worked out together will remain in the memory. Make use of the possibility of annotating directly during the presentation and send the content in the appropriate format to the audience already during the event.
  • Multimedia content has a loosening-up effect: The audience becomes more attentive through videos. Something is happening. Anyone who visualizes the content of his presentation with a video will notice how quickly he will be back in the center of attention and interest in his presentation will be increasing.
