Abstract:

    This paper presents the design, implementation, and educational applications of a Smart Horizontal Interactive Industrial Whiteboard (SHIIW), a next-generation digital tool for technical and vocational education environments. The idea behind creating this unique, advanced learning tool is to transform an interactive whiteboard mounted vertically on a wall to be used horizontally on a desk. SHIIW is a horizontally mounted, touch-sensitive surface integrated with industrial-grade components, enabling real-time collaboration, CAD-based drawing, circuit simulation, and multimedia learning. By combining multi-touch technology, smart sensors, and industrial durability, SHIIW addresses the limitations of traditional vertical boards and enhances pedagogical interactivity in technical education. The paper outlines system architecture, hardware specifications, software integration, user interaction, and evaluation results from classroom deployment.
