ViewSonic Aims New Interactive Displays at Distance Learning Market

ViewSonic, targeting hybrid learning environments, launched a pen display and notepad designed as supplementary devices for classroom or distance learning, it said Wednesday. The 13-inch ViewBoard (available now, $349), bundled with an electromagnetic pen, can be paired with a computer as a secondary touch device to share content, it said. The 7.5-inch ViewBoard Notepad ($69, due this month) allows users to take digitalized notes in real time. The Notepad's pen uses ink, allowing users to write or draw on paper; pen strokes are digitized in real time, it said. Both devices work with the company's myViewBoard software.
