Thunder™
Enterprise Collaboration System by PolyVision
PolyVision’s ground-breaking Thunder System redefines
the collaborative process, providing
the essential environment and tools to work or learn
together,
regardless of physical location.
•Thunder is used in a way similar to a flip chart, with
participants jotting notes and drawings onto a
“page” with an electronic pen or finger.
• Multiple pages are “posted” and projected onto the
wall in high resolution, allowing all of the
information to remain visible to all participants.
• With the touch of an icon, participants from other
meetings, classrooms, or even other countries can
join another Thunder meeting, see all of their posted
information and exchange data, and share ideas –
regardless of physical location.
• Each page created in the meeting is saved on the
system with auto-numbering, and can be
displayed, edited, retrieved, printed, or emailed;
allowing users to leave the meeting knowing their
information has been captured.
• Thunder enables real-time display of content from any
user’s personal laptop, allowing participants
to join from any location.
• The Thunder system also features instant scanning,
real-time video, and One-Click Publishing™ for
simple, immediate distribution of materials.
