Luidia has announced that the company has formed a partnership with Hitachi’s projector division. Hitachi has selected Luidia’s award-winning eBeam technology to power its Ultimate Interactive Short Throw Projector.
The new Hitachi iPJ-AW250N Ultimate Interactive Short Throw Projector incorporates Luidia’s eBeam interactive technology to create a platform for capturing and sharing ideas by transforming flat surfaces into interactive and collaborative workspaces. The announcement was made today at the Integrated Systems Europe Show in Amsterdam.
“Hitachi is dedicated to providing solutions for the Education and Business Projector Market,” said Hiroki Nakano, Senior Manager of the Hitachi Projector Marketing Department. “We chose to partner with Luidia for our Ultimate Interactive Projector because their technology is leading edge. As a result, we are able to give users affordable solutions, requiring almost no time to transform any flat surface into an interactive workspace.”
Making Interactive Whiteboards Affordable
The Hitachi iPJ-AW250N turns any standard whiteboard or smooth surface into an interactive area, giving educators, engineers, architects, business users, and manufacturing departments powerful interactive capabilities without the expense and hassle of a traditional interactive whiteboard (IWB).
“More and more OEMs recognize the advantages that Luidia brings to enable interactivity. Hitachi’s announcement is another endorsement of our ability to deliver eBeam technology and closely partner with major OEMs,” said Roy Erez, Luidia Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development. “eBeam’s small footprint allows OEMs to easily integrate interactivity without compromising design, style and functionality.
