What are visualy impaired students encountering?
-
Magnification equipment is often expensive. Budgets are sometimes inadequate, leaving students without the right tools to take the class.
-
Smart blackboards are increasingly being used, but analog magnification does not provide a quality image, causing students to drop out more quickly.
-
Young children need very user-friendly tools. Something playful and intuitive that connects to their experience.
-
Older pupils and students take classes in different classrooms. Therefore, there is a need for a mobile solution.
-
Students do not want to be different from their peers. They want to give their disability as little visibility as possible. So there is a need for compact, unobtrusive aids that can be used anywhere in the classroom.
-
Teachers want to minimize the impact of the presence of assistive devices on classroom organization. Therefore, they expect a tool that they don't have to worry about and that always works.

my Board Buddy AIR and GO:
the solution to magnify the smartboard in a classroom
It is impossible to imagine modern classrooms without the digital blackboard. The challenge is to provide high quality information to the visually impaired student.
A camera that takes a picture of a digital blackboard or projection is
then insufficient.
​
A specific solution for the digital blackboard is needed.
​
my Board Buddy is the answer.
my Board Buddy brings the image from the smartboard in high quality to a monitor or tablet close to the student.
The student can adjust the magnification and color contrast himself without impacting the image of the smartboard.
​
All screen content is displayed with minimal delay: text, photo, video, live notes.
​
"Thanks to my Board Buddy, students and employees are able to participate in the classroom or meeting room."
- Andy Mylle - technical expert my Board Buddy
Give visually impaired employees access to digital presentations
In any modern work environment, digital presentation screens are everywhere. Think of hybrid consultation moments in a meeting room or powerpoint presentations for a large group.
Visually impaired employees must be able to participate.
This distance camera significantly improves the readability of chalkboards, posters, and other teaching materials. Teachers and classmates are also displayed in sharp, high-quality magnification with the my Board Buddy CAM.
​
On their own screen, students with low vision can easily and independently adjust the image to suit their individual needs.
This way, the lesson becomes accessible to everyone.
