3 INTRODUCTION Ubi Sensor Frame is a frame that can be added to display panels of any size or technology to make them interactive. The sensor frame is packaged with sensors that can detect very accurately the position of your finger. It is a true plug and play solution. Snap it onto your display panel and with no special set up or driver, your display magically turns a touch screen. Ubi sensor frame also comes with an array of software tools and apps. This document provides you all the instructions to set up and use Ubi Sensor Frame. WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE Each package contains the following items Edges of the sensor frame 4 USB cable 1 3M Adhesive 24 strips Screws 8 Instruction Manual 1 USB extension Optional Stylus Optional HOW TO SET UP HARDWARE When you unpack the package, the full set of IR touch frames will look like this: For frames larger than 90 there will be two extra pieces for each of the longer side. There is also an additional power supply included for the larger frames. Each frame is labeled to indicate which corners go with which one. In some of the sized, the matching corners are coded with color.

Figure 3: The color marker in the corner indicating matching pairs Place the four sides of the frame in the correct position. Make sure corners with the same color go next to each other.

Figure 5: Snap together the matching corners This is how it should look once the connection is successful

Figure 7: Affix the edges by using provided screws After assembly, place the frame on a flat surface. Connect the USB cable to any Windows/Lunux PC/ Mac/ Chromebit device. The frame will be automatically

7 detected as an HID device. Try moving your finger inside the frame and make sure the finger is showing up as a touch point ( or mouse in case of Mac). After testing disconnect the USB cable. Now you are ready to paste the frame on the display. Use the provided tape. Apply the strips of tape on the bezel. Lift up the assembled frame gently and affix it agains the display panel. Figure 8: Apply the tape on the bezel of the display Once the frame is affixed on the display, connect the USB cable again to your preferred device. The sensor frame should be automaticaly detected and you should be able to interact with the content on the display now. INTERACTION Ubi Sensor Frame can detect up to 10 fingers simultaneously on Windows, Linux and Android. On Chrome OS, Ubi Sensor Frame can support multi-touch interaction. The exact number of touch input depend on the configuration of your Chrome device and its touch drivers.

8 Mac OS does not offer support for touch. Therefore, Ubi Sensor Frame will behave like a mouse on these devices. In addition to fingers, Ubi Sensor Frame also supports stylus interaction. Ubi Interactive provides soft touch felt tip stylus upon request. The stylus can avoid finger smudges and scratches on the display. SETTING UP UBI APPS Ubi sensor frame also comes with an array of software tools and apps. They include a desktop annotation tool, a whiteboard tool, a shared web whiteboard tool and a document camera app. You can download and install from this link A tutorial on these apps can be found here We also have an education all called Freeboard that provides more advanced features for creating classroom and training materials. You can download it from here A tutorial on this app can be found here - Annotation-and-Whiteboard-App TROUBLE SHOOTING Calibrating the display in case of an offset If your TV does not match up in size exactly with the sensor frame or you did not align the sensor frame correctly with the TV, you may see an offset between where you touch and where interaction happens. In order to correct this, we have a special utility. Please download it from here and proceed as follows.

9 1. Launch the utility by double clicking. A screen such as the one below will show up 2. Click on the calibration button 3. A window such as the following will appear. Touch on each marked position as instructed. Once you touch all the four points, your offset should disappear Using the touchscreen TV as secondary display When you use Ubi sensor frame on a primary display it works automatically and send the touch input to the correct display.

10 However, if your Ubi sensor frame-enabled display is not a primary display, it is not that simple. You will see that when you touch your display the touch input appears on the primary display instead. Please follow the instructions here
