Are smart boards worth messing with? I am not quite sure what they are, but they seem like like a large touch screen monitor of sorts.

I have zero clue what you mean by smart board. Unless you’re talking about the table sized touch screen. Then yes, it’s a touch screen on steroids.

Yeah thats pretty much what it is, Smart Board is the brand I guess

Mostly peripheral and a power board. You’ll be left with the highly regulated disposal of the screen itself.

I believe that a projector is what is used to show the image.

That is the very reason I like to ask before messing some things.

Thanks for the heads up Lost.

There are some touch/drawing units that use DLP but there you are still faced with the layered glass with heavy metals in it. A touch screen is still a touch screen even if it’s not LCD technology. There’s still the input matrix and etc etc.
Just make sure you have something in place before you wind up with actually having to deal with it.
I won’t say it doesn’t exist now but it’s been a LONG LONG time since I’ve seen a solely passive tracking system (such a a light pen or magnetic resistance wand) on anything other than than Onyx manufactured ebook readers and kids edutainment tablets.
