A Smartboard is a type of presentation equipment that consists of a wall-mounted or free-standing whiteboard, a projector, and a computer with Smartboard software installed. The Smartboard is an interactive device that tracks finger and pen movements on the screen. In order for the equipment to correctly track these movements, it must be calibrated. Smartboard calibration is necessary when you first set up the equipment, and after the equipment is moved or bumped into.
