HoverCam eGlass
eGlass is a new communication system that draws classroom and remote students in like never before. It combines a transparent light board, a built-in camera and software that captures the teacher’s face and writing in the same window. Are you ready to really engage with your students?
eGlass’s Chameleon technology enables you to pull your slides, documents and photos directly onto the screen, and automatically optimizes their color for maximum legibility. You can even draw on the document right on eGlass.
Overview
How it Works:
One simple USB connection to your computer. Then connect to your projector, board or online learners via Zoom.
35” and 50” sizes available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to write backwards? No. The specially designed camera flips your image.
Does eGlass have a built-in display, so I can see myself as I write? No, you can’t see your own image onscreen. However, by positioning your computer near the camera on the audience side of the glass, you can see yourself perfectly through the glass.
Does eGlass work with PC, Mac and Chromebook? Yes - all you need is a USB input on your computer.
Do you need any special tools? No, eGlass is assembled using thumbscrews. You don’t even need a screwdriver!
Do I need special markers? No. Board markers will work - we find fluorescent blue and green ones work best.
Does eGlass only work in dark rooms? eGlass works in bright and dark environments. The patented ChromaClear lighting controls reduce the brightness of well-lit and otherwise busy backgrounds so that both the presenter and the ink can be highly visible.
Do I need a microphone to record my voice? No, eGlass has a built-in high fidelity mic.
How do I keep the glass clean? The patented eGlass glass surface doesn’t show smudges.You simply wipe the writing off with a soft cloth, without worrying that it has to be perfectly clean.
Is the image sharp? Yes. The camera can shoot with 4K clarity at 45fps. However, 1080p and 30fps is what we recommend.
What can I control? The control panel features lighting dimmers for the glass and the presenter, an exposure control to optimize subject and background light, and a record and snapshot button.
What comes with eGlass? An eGlass frame, support legs, a camera arm, thumb screws, anti-reflection hood, camera arm support stabilizer bricks, filter adaptor and 1 polarized filter, cleaning cloth, neon markers, and quick start guide.
