How Atmosic Technologies Uses Energy Harvesting to Extend the Battery Life of IoT Devices
White boards are everywhere. You can find them in offices, schools, at home, at restaurants, in hospitals – wherever you are – you can find a white board. Dry erase markers only - you’ll make the mistake of using permanent marker only once! Preserving your notes to share with meeting attendees – shoot a picture and email, of course! Meeting Etiquette 101.
Digital white boards aren’t new. What is new is the E Ink and Ricoh eWhiteboard 4200 – introduced this week. Another white board with E Ink Digital Paper. Nice, but why the big announcement?
The eWhiteboard 4200 isn’t just any Digital Paper device. E Ink and Ricoh created the world’s thinnest – 14.5 mm / 0.575 inches – and lightest – 5.9 kg / just a bit over 13 lbs. Ok, nice. Why am I excited?
In addition to the ultra-low weight and slim design – because the 42” Carta display from E Ink is low powered and reflective – this eWhiteboard is the most portable device available anywhere on Earth. Yes, I said that. Anywhere! Take this device where other whiteboards fear to go – outside, to a function or construction site – it's waterproof and dust-proof. The internal battery will see you through a long planning session, training, debrief – whatever you need.
Take the lightweight eWhiteboard to school or the office – pick it up and place it anywhere – on a table, on an easel, or hang on the wall. Work collaboratively across remote sites – the eWhiteboards are connected by WiFi. The eWhiteboard application can be used on multiple devices – including laptops and phone screens.
What else can this eWhiteboard do? It can predictively convert handwriting to text! The Ricoh eWhiteboard also collects frequently used terms in a custom dictionary – no worries about misuse of specific words and facilitate easier proof reading.
Like all E Ink Digital Paper eNote devices, the eWhiteboard 4200 has a paper like feel when writing. The lack of light emission makes it ideal for patient and exam rooms – where bright displays could disturb the patient.
Ditch the dried out markers, erasers and cleaning solutions – this latest eWhiteboard from E Ink and Ricoh has raised the bar.
