At its basic level the Touchjet Pond is a portable
projector. But ultimately it’s a portable touchscreen tablet that can be
projected onto any surface.
The Pond has wireless and Bluetooth capability. It can
project an image from 12 to 80 inches on any surface. With the power of 80 lumens
it can produce a nice display that allows its users to interact with it via the
stylus pens and the air mouse that come with it.
There are several ports on the back, one that allows you to
connect it to a USB drive for external storage. It has 16 GB of internal
storage, but the external option gives more flexibility for sharing. Which
comes in handy for libraries! Plus, there is always the cloud! Also, there’s an
HDMI adapter that allows you to connect the Pond to laptops and desktops so
they can be mirrored and projected onto a larger surface. It has both AC and DC
power. Once it’s charged it can move around for a few hours without the
bothersome cord.
The Pond comes equipped with an Android operating system, so
you can connect and download apps from Google’s Play store. This gives you the
flexibility to choose between the wide varieties of apps to suit your needs.
We’ve taken the initiative and preloaded apps like, Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
and Adobe. There are many educational apps as well as fun gaming apps that may
be useful in a classroom. Its interactive capability gives you many options. You
may also choose to login to your Netflix or Hulu account and watch a movie,
just don’t forget to logout when you’re done!
We are giving a demo
for librarians next week and then for faculty in January. Once we’ve educated
them, be sure to ask about it and learn how to see what it can do for your
class!
