What makes IR pens interaction attractive
Split one surface into multiple workspaces so several users can interact independently on the same installation.
High precision makes IR pens a great fit for detailed activities like drawing, writing, puzzles and board-games.
Choose from a wide catalogue of IR-pen compatible apps: board games, maths and logic, language puzzles, coding and creative tools.
Place the projection on the floor or table to match accessibility requirements and the user's posture (standing or seated).
IR pens are easy to understand and can function like a stylus, pointer or even a cue replacement in certain apps.
Choose pen form factors that fit the installation, the surface (table or floor) and the expected working position.

How it works
Using IR pens on the projection surface is similar to writing with a pen on paper. Projection can be placed on a table or floor surface.
When the pen tip is pressed to the surface (or a button is used, depending on the model), it emits infrared light that the system tracks.
Each app defines how pen input should behave: drawing a trace, selecting an element, placing a mark or moving objects.
Apps operated with IR pens
IR pens enable educational and creative experiences that need precision: coding with picture blocks, solving math tasks, playing board games or drawing in a shared space.
They also support fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which can be valuable in education and therapy support scenarios.
