retains the fundamental value of ICATS Pro (the original ICATS), and delivers an easy to use phone UI at a very attractive total system cost! ICATS EZ is ideal for those that want to train using the extensive ICA drill library, but not author drills. When available, "bundles" (which include a projector) are sold, greatly simplifying the purchase.
What motivated creation of ICATS EZ?
It has become clear that some customers desire to exclusively use the ICATS for training, by utilizing the extensive drill library professionally designed by ICA, Pros, and other well known trainers. For this user, creation of drills and use of ICA's advanced add-on capabilities (Statistics, Target Practice) are not of interest. This allowed ICA to develop a simpler UI for the ICATS as well as reduce the overall cost of the system!
How is ICATS EZ different than ICATS Pro (the original ICATS)?
The primary difference is that ICATS EZ exclusively uses your phone for the UI! This simple intuitive interface manages all the features of ICATS EZ. Simply walk up to the table, scan the QR code, and launch the phone UI! The table below summarizes the main differences between ICATS EZ and ICATS Pro (the original ICATS).
ICATS EZUI Overview
The ICATS EZ User Interface (EZUI) has five main UI pages. Each UI page is reviewed below. This set of UI pages provides a great user experience, delivers all the critical features of an ICA Training System, and unleashes the full breadth of ICAs drill library for your training!
Main Page
This is the primary UI page. Click categories of interest and drills meeting that critera are immediately displayed. Scroll the drill list, touch a drill, and the drill is displayed on your table! Favorites (Heart icon), Tools (wrench icon) and Settings (gear icon) pages are launched from this page.
Favorites
The Favorites page manages a small set of drills that are significant for your current training. Favorite drills can be added, or removed, as your interests change or your skills improve.
Tools
The tools screen contains useful tools that apply to the displayed drill. The image below shows many possible tools but, in real use, only tools applicable to the current drill will be displayed.
Settings
The Settings page configures various ICATS settings, such as table size and projector mount. Calibration and ICATS Update are launched from the Settings page.
Calibration
Calibration is the process by which ICATS adjusts for projector position and table size, to perfectly fit images to your table. With the Calibration UI page, calibrating your ICATS to your table is simple!
