Thinking about new stereoscopic projection environments Epson showed the EH-TW9000, a very bright projector that with its more than 2.000 lumens allows small rooms to have a very bright 3D image. By doubling the refresh rate, passing from 240 Hz a 480 Hz, The shadow period between images for the right and left eye is radically reduced. Thus, users enjoy a brighter three-dimensional experience than, besides, it doesn't tire the eyes so much.

With EB-485Wi and EB-475Wi projectors, Students and teachers can write on the screen at the same time. Its two interactive pens make collaboration easy, They are light and, thanks to the displacement detection function (which recognizes with great precision when they are not in contact with the projection surface), They are extremely responsive and very easy to use..

In addition to being compatible with any software on the market, These projectors also work without a computer and have an instant annotation tool. Teachers will no longer have to connect to the computer to make any surface interactive and, if connected to a DVD player, They will be able to make annotations on photos or mobile images. Besides, Projectors can be mounted in four positions (even under glass-topped tables), which offers a greater number of interactive options for teamwork.

Like interactive projectors, EB-485W non-interactive versions, EB-475W, EB-480 and EB-470 project large images at close range and reduce shadows. Installation is very simple because everything you need is included in the box..
