The no-charge upgrade will enable simultaneous freestyle interaction and object awareness for up to four users.

The products feature DViT (Digital VisionTouch) technology, which uses embedded cameras that detect and distinguish inputs made by a finger, fist, pen or other object. This optical touch technology offers many advantages over other touch technologies, including effortless zero-force touch, the ability to scale to large sizes and the ability to support multiple touches and users. Freestyle interaction enables multiple users to perform different tasks simultaneously, such as writing with digital ink and manipulating objects anywhere on the display surface.

Linda Thomas, VP, Products, SMART Technologies said, "Adding four-touch interactivity to our education line of SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboards and the SMART Board 8070i interactive display enhances the collaborative capabilities of our products. Now, even more students will be able to interact with lesson material on the interactive whiteboard and display leading to increased student engagement and improved learning outcomes."
