SAN MATEO, California, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaptivo Inc., the company that develops advanced collaboration technology products, today unveiled its flagship product Kaptivo, a new IoT device that for $399 transforms any standard dry-erase whiteboard into an online collaboration tool.

"One in four people video conference every day but have no way to easily share the content from the whiteboards outside of their corporate meeting rooms or home offices," said Nic Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder of Kaptivo. "We live and work in an accelerating digital and connected world. We saw the important need to ensure the whiteboard, a key productivity tool that so many rely upon, wasn't being left behind."

Kaptivo uses proprietary software and patented computer vision technology to automatically identify and extract only important content while providing a crisp and clear image archive of all board changes. This means that Kaptivo can eliminate people in front of the whiteboard and other visual distractions such as background shadows, reflections and old marker residue left on the board. Other key Kaptivo benefits include: eliminating the need to take notes or photos of the whiteboard, automatically capturing an intelligent archive of all board content changes; "rewinding" the whiteboard to a particular point in the meeting to see how an idea developed and sharing a timeline of content that is generated as a PDF document -- all without any change to the whiteboarding workflow.
