eBeam is an interactive whiteboard system developed by Luidia, Inc. that transforms any standard whiteboard or other surface into an interactive display and writing surface.
Luidia's eBeam hardware and software products allow text, images, and video to be projected onto a variety of surfaces, where an interactive stylus or marker can be used to add notes, access control menus, manipulate images, and create diagrams and drawings.[1] The presentations, notes, and images can be saved and emailed to class or meeting participants, as well as shared in real-time either on local networks or over the Internet.
An eBeam demo was given at the Apple Expo 2002 in Paris, France.[2]
Luidia's eBeam technology was originally developed and patented by engineers at Electronics for Imaging Inc. (Nasdaq: EFII), a Foster City, California, developer of digital print server technology. Luidia was spun off[3] from EFI in July 2003 with venture funding from Globespan Capital Partners and Silicom Ventures.
