My Board Buddy GO Smart Board Magnifier for Low Vision

A smart board magnifier for low vision that helps you stay connected to every lesson, meeting, and moment. Some of the most important moments happen on a board: a teacher explaining a concept, a trainer outlining next steps, a presenter sharing key visuals, or a student working through a breakthrough. But for people with low vision, those moments can feel out of reach—especially when information is posted across the room. My Board Buddy GO was designed to change that. A portable solution that restores clarity and confidence My Board Buddy GO is a smart board magnifier for low vision that makes it easier to see what’s displayed on a classroom board, Smartboard, or presentation screen. Instead of leaning forward, squinting, or relying on others, users can regain access to visual information—independently and comfortably. This product supports the kind of freedom that matters most: the freedom to learn, participate, and keep up in real time. It’s lightweight, practical, and purpose-built for people who need a dependable tool that works in school, training environments, and everyday life. Built for real-world accessibility This device is especially helpful in settings where the board changes quickly and information is temporary. Whether it’s math problems, class notes, diagrams, schedules, or a training agenda, My Board Buddy GO helps you stay present and engaged—without having to ask someone to repeat what you couldn’t see. (Also referred to in many classrooms as a SMART Board magnifier for low vision, this product helps bridge the gap between distance viewing and accessible learning.)

It’s ideal for anyone who experiences reduced visual acuity, contrast sensitivity issues, or difficulty with distance viewing.

Make your smart board or presentation accessible with my Board Buddy! 100% digital access in real-time My Board Buddy gives fast, real-time access to the live content on the smart board, whether that is text, photos, videos or handwriting, so all users can have access to the same information at the same time. Because the information is digital, the my Board Buddy can maintain a high image quality at all magnification levels! How it works My Board Buddy connects to the smart board, computer, or other HDMI device. It then transmits the information to a separate tablet or monitor at a desk where students or professionals can manipulate the images without impacting what others see. Wireless design This wireless design means that students with low vision can sit anywhere in the room, not look any different from other students yet, still have a perfect view of the presentation. One device for all students Install one of my Board Buddy devices in your classroom or office, and all the students or staff can use it simultaneously. This simple solution creates full access to the smart board for every visually impaired person in the room! And the best part – it works with current tablets and monitors so you can use equipment you already own. A very budget-friendly solution! Multiple versions My Board Buddy comes in 2 different versions – my Board Buddy GO and my Board Buddy AIR. My Board Buddy GO is a portable solution where the user connects to a tablet using a free app and uses the touchscreen icons to navigate. This is great for users who frequently change locations. Install the transmitter in each classroom and students can move from room to room with only a tablet. My Board Buddy AIR  combines the features of the GO but also adds the option to connect it to a stand-alone monitor. This option is great for fixed environments where you can always leave the monitor setup but also gives you the flexibility to use the tablet solution for additional users. It’s also great for younger students who are less familiar with a computer and prefer to use the intuitive remote control. Inclusive Environment My Board Buddy is easy-to use, works with equipment you already own and provides unlimited access to smartboards for every single person in the room. It creates a more inclusive and engaging environment and it’s a great way to accommodate multiple vision conditions and learning difficulties in one affordable solution! “Distance viewing is one of the biggest challenges we hear about from students and adults with low vision.
