The Leading Manufacturer of Lightboard Technology

What is a Lightboard?

Simply put, a lightboard is a transparent board usually made from glass where the teacher or presenter writes on the surface with a neon pen while a camera is recording their content. The neon writing is illuminated using special LEDs around the board.

What makes Lightboards so popular?

Lightboards are not a new concept, in fact they’ve been around for many years and are widely adopted by many Universities and businesses. The key reason is the lightboard provides a unique and fundamentally different approach for teaching and training online. The presenter is always facing the camera, and as they write and talk, the audience can clearly follow them. Research suggests that this creates an enhanced learning experience through principles such as ‘Dynamic Drawing’ and ‘Gaze Guidance’.

Evolution of Lightboard Technology: Introducing the Smart-Lightboard™

Up until recently, the lightboard was always an analogue tool, where the user writes on the glass with a physical pen. A Smart-Lightboard uses a new technology which integrates a digital ’layer’ over the glass transforming the surface into a large transparent touch screen. This allows the user to write digitally, annotate, display, and interact with images, while maintaining direct eye contact with the camera and audience.

The Smart-Lightboard takes the simplicity and proven effectiveness of the traditional lightboard and combines that with an interactive, immersive experience.
