Businesses and schools worldwide make use of digital projectors and white boards to convey information in**meetings and classrooms. SmartBoards are interactive whiteboards that merge these two technologies. A**drawback is that relying on projector technology to function correctly can cause presenters to end up standing**between projector and screen, interfering with projection when they wish to interact directly with the board. To**eliminate this problem, the team of QuirkLogic has developed a large-format interactive e-Ink display that does**not rely on projection. A drawback of e-Ink display is their comparatively lower resolution: many fonts do not**display as well.**The purpose of this Engage project is to design and evaluate proprietary fonts to display text on a large-format**e-Ink display, particularly for presentations in boardrooms and classrooms. The e-Ink display is akin to that**used by e-Readers, but in a larger format like a flipchart or digital projector, as currently used in boardrooms.**Our goal of this is to develop and evaluate a font that is appealing and easy to read in these settings. Here one**needs to take into account the limited number of pixels per square inch, the resolution of the e-Ink display, and**the limits of the user's visual system in a typical reading environment.

世界各地的企业和学校利用数字投影仪和白板在**会议和教室中传达信息。智能板是融合了这两种技术的交互式白板。一个**缺点是，依赖投影仪技术来正常工作可能会导致演讲者最终站在投影仪和屏幕之间，当他们希望直接与黑板交互时，干扰投影。为了**消除这个问题，QuirkLogic团队开发了一种不依赖**投影的大画幅交互式电子墨水显示器。E-Ink显示屏的一个缺点是分辨率相对较低：许多字体也不**显示。**本Engage项目的目的是设计和评估专有字体，以便在大幅面**e-Ink显示屏上显示文本，特别是在会议室和教室中的演示文稿。E-Ink显示屏与电子阅读器使用的**类似，但显示的格式更大，如活动挂图或数字投影仪，就像目前董事会使用的那样。**我们的目标是开发和评估一种在这些设置下具有吸引力和易读性的字体。这里**需要考虑每平方英寸有限的像素数、电子墨水显示器的分辨率以及**用户在典型阅读环境中的视觉系统的限制。
