ViewSonic Corp., a visual solutions provider, has launched the ViewBoard Box for learning spaces — a plug and play device that works with mainstream displays, monitors, and projectors. It provides instant access to the company's myViewBoard ecosystem and brings engagement and collaboration to learning spaces, according to a press release.

The ViewBoard Box also helps IT administrators streamline the work process by offering device management to centrally control displays remotely with myViewBoard Manager.

"At the moment, we are seeing the acceleration of a number of changes that were already underway in education, such as greater digitalization of in-person classrooms, and the proliferation of remote learning," Monica Sun, director of the Presentation Group at ViewSonic, said in the release. "Purpose-built to facilitate communication and engagement, the myViewBoard ecosystem has benefited more than 4 million customers. With the introduction of the ViewBoard Box, we want to open this powerful visual learning platform to an even greater number of educators, students, and institutions—without the need to undertake major upgrades in their infrastructure."

Through the app connected to a remote system, IT managers can change device operation settings, broadcast tailored messages on multiple devices, and track device metrics such as power or data usage, from the dashboard.

The software suite contains digital whiteboarding tools, a range of digital education content in myViewBoard Clips and Originals, as well as wireless screen sharing with myViewBoard Display for group collaboration.

Founded in 1987 and based in California, ViewSonic conducts business in over 100 countries.
