Read full description

With the ‘my Board Buddy’ app, you bring the image of the digital board or presentation screen up close. This app is primarily intended for use on tablet. Thus, visually impaired students or staff can also follow a presentation visually. Thanks to ‘my Board Buddy’, the app user can magnify the image from the digital board or presentation screen on his personal tablet. This is done by enlarging or moving the image with finger movements on the touch screen. The enlargement on the tablet has no impact on the image of the digital board. The ‘my Board Buddy’ app only works in conjunction with a ‘my Board Buddy’ transmitter that is paired with the digital board or presentation screen. Benefits of the ‘my Board Buddy’ app: - Enlarges the image high quality, without pixels or interference - Mobile solution, only the tablet needs to be brought along - Suitable for moving images, such as video recordings - Intuitive use of the app thanks to touch screen - The image is adjustable in magnification and contrast - Pairs with multiple ‘my Board Buddy’ transmitters for use in different (class)rooms - Each transmitter/room is given a name of your choice to keep the rooms apart - Works with the majority of interactive digital boards and screens - Works independently of the existing network
