What Is my Board Buddy GO?
my Board Buddy GO is a mobile smartboard magnification solution that allows visually impaired students and employees to view digital whiteboards, projectors, and presentation screens directly on their tablet or smartphone—in high quality, with adjustable zoom, color contrast, and without impact on the original screen.
Technical Specifications & Integration
​
As a technical expert in assistive tools, we’ve designed the my Board Buddy GO to be a "plug-and-play" addition to existing infrastructure.
​
-
Hardware : A compact transmitter placed between the source (laptop) and the output (smartboard).
-
Connectivity : Wireless transmission to the my Board Buddy App.
-
Hybrid Setup : Can be used as a stand-alone device or as an add-on to traditional camera systems used for viewing physical objects.
-
All screen content is displayed with minimal delay: text, photo, video, live notes.
How does it works?
The app on the tablet wirelessly receives the signal from the my Board Buddy transmitter as soon as the user enters the room. The user opens the app and immediately sees the "connect" button. The steps to connect are completed automatically.
The app works on iOS, Android and Chromebook.
​
One my Board Buddy transmitter should be connected per classroom or meeting room.​ The user can give each my Board Buddy transmitter its own name, e.g. chemistry class, history class, math class,....
If there are multiple transmitters within range, this will allow the user to easily choose the classroom they are in.
​
Startup takes only 20 seconds!​

Is my Board Buddy GO suitable for professional workplaces?
Absolutely. In the modern hybrid office, digital screens are the hub of collaboration. Whether it’s a high-stakes PowerPoint or a collaborative team meeting, visually impaired professionals deserve equal access to visual data.
my Board Buddy GO bridges the gap by streaming a high-definition, magnified feed of any presentation screen directly to a tablet.
Because it operates independently, the employee can customize their view—adjusting zoom and contrast—without interrupting the flow of the meeting for others. It is the ultimate plug-and-play solution for mobile, inclusive professionals.
