What is TI-Smartview?
TI-SmartView is a free software program developed by Texas Instruments for use with their graphing calculators. It allows users to emulate a TI graphing calculator on their computer screen and interact with it using their mouse and keyboard.
Some of the key features of TI-SmartView include:
- Viewing and interacting with the calculator interface on a larger screen
- Using a mouse and keyboard instead of the calculator buttons
- Transferring files between the calculator and computer
- Updating the calculator operating system
- Projecting the calculator screen for classroom demonstrations
TI-SmartView works by establishing a connection between the TI graphing calculator and the computer via USB or wireless adapter. It can emulate TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, and more recent TI-Nspire calculator models. The software provides an accurate representation of the calculator's interface and allows the user to operate it just like having the actual handheld device.
TI-SmartView is aimed at high school and college students who use TI graphing calculators to allow them to view and control the calculator on their laptop screen. It's also useful for teachers to demonstrate calculator functionality to a classroom by projecting the TI-SmartView window. The software is available for Windows and Mac computers.
