The new SMART boards (which is a brand like Kleenex) is actually IFP (Interactive Flat Panel). I work on the sales side of the industry now, but I grew up with, and worked on those SMART boards as my district had them, but they’re technically an interactive board and projector.
Also, if you didn’t know (and mannnnyyyy people in IT/Facilities don’t realize this for some unknown reason) there is major differences between TVs. Specifically consumer and enterprise/commercial grade TVs. Especially around LED/Backlight tested lifetime. Tons of education institutions have IT departments just buying off the shelf TVs. Which is horrifying for the network/unmanaged aspect alone…
For some reason I am now wondering if overhead projectors are still called overhead projectors…
Overhead projectors don’t exist anymore, they’ve been replaced by video projectors mounted overhead.
So… They still have overhead projectors they just aren’t overhead projectors?
One is referring to the placement of the projector itself, one is referring to the placement of the mirror that projects the image.
I think it is this:
Overhead projector
Video projector
Slide projector
Film Strip Projector
Film projector
Wow. This shit is a lot more complicated than I thought.
Or smart whiteboard things or actual TVs
