My Board Buddy

My Board Buddy, ingenious in its simplicity

My Board Buddy makes a vibration-free, maximum magnifiable duplicate of the smartboard or any other projection, while maintaining the original image quality and offering the possibility to manipulate the colors.

Existing school systems with screen magnifier and camera are indispensable for magnifying and contrast enhancement of all analog information (e.g. blackboards, whiteboard) and for class or meeting experiences such as the facial expressions of teachers, fellow students, corner work, etc. Sometimes problems arise for smartboard magnification by means of a camera or splitter. In these cases, My Board Buddy is the ideal supplement.

Sensotec developed my Board Buddy to solve a classroom situation that could not be overcome with existing devices.
It is primarily intended for school applications, but can also be used very useful during meetings / presentations for participants with a visual impairment.

Existing solutions do not always satisfy 100%…
My Board Buddy solves this completely.

	When magnifying the smartboard by means of a camera:  poor image quality, many pixels & insufficient contrast every tap or movement is magnified and creates vibrations and blurred images position towards the (smart)board or projection is crucial: the user cannot take place where he or she sees fit
	When duplicating 1:1 through a splitter:  no magnification or color manipulation possible no hassle with wires
