Optoma, manufacturer of pioneering visual solutions, introduced the new Creative Touch 3-Series Interactive Flat Panel Displays (IFPDs), featuring improved functionality and added interactive features designed to meet the evolving needs of education and corporate environments. Available in 65-, 75- and 86-inch formats, the Creative Touch 3-Series IFPDs include intuitive and user-friendly software, says Optoma. It also includes an enhanced Whiteboard for 1-to-1 collaboration whether in remote, in-person, or hybrid environments across several platforms. These comprise classrooms, lecture halls, boardrooms and other professional settings.
With the new Optoma IFPDs, users can work together seamlessly in-person or in real time from home, the company adds. They can do so by accessing their content through the Optoma Solution Suite (OSS). This is a proprietary software stack consisting of the cloud-based Whiteboard, Display Share, and File Manager, Optoma reveals.
Empowering Educators & Professionals
Here, Whiteboard provides users with an infinity canvas, floating toolbar, and annotation tools for endless, creative lesson opportunities. Educators can sync their cloud accounts, such as Google Classroom, for convenient lesson planning from anywhere and access their materials from any Creative Touch IFPD on campus. For remote lessons or in hybrid sessions, educators have the option of writing on the board while their students have a real time view of the annotations, either via one other Creative Touch display or online. This is valuable for use cases such as hiding quiz answers for later discussion, says Optoma. Users can also conveniently embed browser pages for easy dragging and dropping of image and video content into the canvas for smoother, uninterrupted lessons.
“Educators and business professionals today are seeking user-friendly solutions for ultimate collaboration from anywhere as we settle into the changing needs of various classroom, work-from-home and hybrid learning and working environments,” remarks Jeff Perry, product manager at Optoma. “The new IFPDs bring impressive connectivity options and interactive collaboration features to any classroom or professional setting, all in a value-focused design.”
With a bright, fingerprint resistant panel, ultra-slim bezel, anti-glare glass, and up to 40-point multi-touch capabilities; the IFPDs thus offer users a range of collaborative features for more effective lessons, presentations, and brainstorming sessions.

Optoma Management Suite (OMS), a value-added solution, is available on the 3-Series IFPDs, says Optoma. Here, it offers IT administrators and technicians a real time remote platform to monitor, manage, and diagnose multiple displays simultaneously that are either on the same network or connected through the cloud server. OMS also allows technicians to check the status of any display, make configurations to optimize performance, and broadcast messages for emergencies, alerts or other announcements across on-site displays.
