The solution to magnify the blackboard in a classroom
The my Board Buddy CAM is an innovative 350° camera specially designed to provide optimal support to visually impaired students in the classroom. The camera is easily attached to the student's desk and, with its motorized lens, captures every detail in the classroom and on the chalkboard or whiteboard with razor-sharp clarity.
​
To make the smartboard accessible, we recommend using the my Board Buddy AIR or GO. You can also combine both seamlessly.
The my Board Buddy CAM remote camera can also be combined with a document camera. This supports visually impaired students by magnifying documents and objects at a distance.
​
The my Board Buddy was developed for young students. It is so easy to use that students aged 5 and up can operate it.
