Quick answer: An interactive flat panel is a large touchscreen display for classrooms and meeting rooms that replaces the projector and whiteboard with one digital surface for writing, presenting, and video collaboration. It matters because it removes calibration, dim-room limits, and separate hardware. PeopleLink builds interactive panels and boards that integrate with its cameras, audio, and room software.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an interactive flat panel?
An interactive flat panel is a large, touch-enabled LED display used for teaching and collaboration. It combines a high-brightness screen, multi-touch writing, and built-in or connected computing, replacing the older projector-and-whiteboard combination with a single device.
Is an interactive panel better than a projector and whiteboard?
For most rooms, yes. A panel needs no calibration, stays bright in normal lighting, and shows sharp detail, while a projector dims over time and a passive whiteboard cannot display digital content. A panel also supports saving and sharing what is written.
Can interactive panels be used for video calls?
Yes. Paired with a conferencing camera and room audio, an interactive panel becomes a full collaboration surface for hybrid meetings and classes. PeopleLink panels integrate with its cameras, audio, and room software.
