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.
