And, of course, it’s chock full of features as it’s an electronic whiteboard — including a stylus (in fact, you can use two simultaneously, if you’d like) and, when you touch the screen with the pen, it automatically switches to whiteboard mode- figuring it out all by itself. Oh, and it’s BYOD capable as it accepts and displays four screens simultaneously.
But, it’s not just an 84” that Microsoft is showing at ISE; they’ll have a every size you can imagine from 55” – 84”.
A few things that will be interesting to ponder at ISE when you enter the Microsoft Stand in Hall 8 (8-K355) are:
- Since this monitor figures out what you want to do — or, you can talk to it, do you need a control system in small rooms where it is installed?
- Since it’s integrated with multi-touch and white boarding, does SMART just become the Kapp company?
- Is the fact that it uses Windows 10 a help or hindrance (we are a MAC company, so we aren’t Windows fan-boys — so you tell us).
- Now that Microsoft is in the AV market looking for integrators, do you think that ISE 2015 will mark the show where it all changed FROM AV to IT?
Tell us what you think what impact Microsoft’s entry into the AV market will have on audiovisual systems integration, overall? If any.
