Incorporating AI into IFP panels: Creating unified learning atmosphere in educational institutions

Education today is not just about delivering lessons. It’s about creating experiences that connect, engage, and adapt. Classrooms are becoming more dynamic, and students are accustomed to interactivity, personalization, and instant feedback. To meet these evolving expectations, schools are increasingly turning to intelligent digital solutions. 

Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into interactive flat panels (IFPs) is transforming traditional classrooms into unified, collaborative, and adaptive learning environments. Optoma’s Creative Touch 3 Series Gen 3, proudly Made in India, exemplifies this transformation—merging AI-powered software, cutting-edge hardware, and Google-certified technology to make learning more immersive and inclusive.

Incorporating AI into IFPs has redefined how teachers teach and students learn. Optoma’s next-generation panels are built around a powerful 8-core processor, 6 TOPS NPU (AI computing), and Android 14 OS, ensuring smooth performance and responsive interactivity. 

But, it’s the embedded AI features that make these panels truly intelligent. The AI handwriting recognition function instantly converts handwritten notes into editable text, helping teachers digitize content and improving accessibility for students. 

For mathematics, the AI math recognition and calculation feature interprets handwritten equations and solves them automatically, enhancing accuracy and making problem-solving faster and more engaging. Lessons become fluid, interactive, and adaptive—creating a classroom experience where every learner can participate meaningfully.

Unified learning atmosphere
Collaboration is at the heart of a unified learning atmosphere. Optoma’s AI-powered IFPs make it effortless. The Optoma Smart Whiteboard provides an infinity canvas—an endless digital workspace that encourages creativity and teamwork. 

Teachers and students can draw, write, and annotate together while the floating toolbar keeps essential tools like pens, rulers, and erasers within easy reach. The system’s AIGC (AI-generated content) Sticky Notes add another layer of engagement by automatically creating sticky notes based on teacher or student prompts. 

Whether used for brainstorming, quick quizzes, or vocabulary exercises, these AI-generated notes turn group discussions into dynamic, actionable learning moments.

Beyond interactivity, AI in Optoma’s panels supports seamless lesson delivery and organization. The Optoma File Manager and built-in screen recording functions help teachers capture, organize, and share their lessons effortlessly, ensuring continuity in learning. 

The dual app mode allows educators to display and operate two applications side by side—for instance, viewing a science video while simultaneously discussing notes—while Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode lets them showcase external device inputs within the same workspace. These intelligent multitasking features ensure that every lesson remains fluid, efficient, and immersive.

A unified classroom is also an inclusive one, where every student has equal access to knowledge. Optoma’s integration of Google Classroom and Google Play Store connects educators and students through familiar platforms. Teachers can import lesson materials, create assignments, and share them directly through the cloud, making hybrid and remote teaching effortless. 

Whiteboard use
The panels’ Display Share and Cloud Whiteboard features further extend learning beyond physical walls—students can wirelessly mirror content from their own devices, collaborate in real time, and access shared resources with ease. Such tools promote active participation, ensuring every learner—whether in class or online—remains connected and engaged.

For administrators and IT teams, maintaining efficiency across classrooms is equally important in creating a unified learning atmosphere. The Optoma Management Suite (OMS) provides centralized control, allowing institutions to monitor, manage, and update multiple displays remotely. 

Teachers can also use OMS to broadcast announcements, set alerts, or push digital signage content across campuses. This intelligent management system ensures stability and reduces downtime, allowing schools to maintain consistent learning experiences across all classrooms.

The hardware supporting these AI-driven capabilities reflects Optoma’s commitment to performance and safety. The 4K UHD display delivers ultra-sharp visuals, while zero bonding technology offers precise touch response that mimics natural handwriting. 

Designed with comfort and durability in mind, the panel includes anti-glare, anti-scratch coating, low blue light filters, and flicker-free technology, all contributing to a more eye-friendly experience. Powerful 40W stereo speakers ensure every lesson is heard clearly, and expandable storage of up to 1TB, USB-C connectivity with 65W charging, and Wi-Fi 6/BLE support make it a truly versatile classroom solution.

AI intelligence and interactivity
The combination of AI intelligence and interactivity creates more than just a digital board—it builds an ecosystem where learning becomes collaborative, personalized, and continuous. Optoma’s AI-enabled features—from AI handwriting and math recognition to AIGC sticky notes, infinite canvas, and floating toolbar—encourage creativity and streamline lesson delivery. 

The InfoBoard further enhances communication by serving as a digital bulletin board for announcements, homework, and reminders, keeping classrooms informed and organized. Together, these innovations form a connected educational environment where students engage actively, teachers teach efficiently, and technology works silently in the background to support both.

By integrating AI at the core of classroom technology, Optoma has not only modernized teaching but also unified the learning experience across institutions. The Creative Touch 3 Series Gen 3 embodies the future of education—one where every interaction is meaningful, every lesson is adaptive, and every learner feels included. 

Proudly developed and Made in India, these intelligent IFPs bridge the gap between innovation and accessibility, empowering educators to create learning spaces that are truly unified, interactive, and inspired by the limitless possibilities of AI.
