First Android 16-powered interactive displays and education ecosystem

ViewSonic Corp. has showcased two new ViewBoard series at Bett 2026, marking the industry's first Android 16-powered interactive displays for education. Designed for fast responsiveness and reliable everyday usage across modern academic spaces, both EDLA-certified series feature advanced 64-point multi-touch technology, and built-in ambient light and PIR motion sensors that support improved energy efficiency. As well as the global hardware debut, the company also presented its latest education software advancements, strengthening its integrated ecosystem for K-12 and higher education institutions.

"To deliver a trusted and reliable ecosystem that institutions can trust over the long term, ViewSonic remains focused on advancing products and solutions to keep pace with the needs of teaching and learning," said Dennis Lin, general manager of ViewSonic Education Solutions. "In response to educators' expectations for secure and future-ready classroom technology, we are introducing the new ViewBoard series powered by the latest operating system. At Bett, we are also highlighting real-world school implementations to demonstrate how ViewSonic helps institutions improve teaching workflows and everyday learning experiences."

The EDLA-certified ViewBoard IFP35-1 Series and ViewBoard IFP41-1 Series, powered by Android 16, provide precise and intuitive interaction through 64-point multi-touch technology and palm rejection. Built-in ambient light and PIR motion sensors support sustainability by automatically adjusting screen brightness and powering the display on when the classroom is in use and off when unoccupied.

The IFP41-1 Series is an advanced model optimised for discussion-based and collaborative learning. Featuring a complete speaker system with a subwoofer and microphone to support clearer communication and richer audio, together with Write Away instant annotation, the display supports seamless, real-time collaboration that improves classroom interaction. With availability in five wide sizes ranging from 55" to 98", the series supports diverse teaching space configurations across higher education, including lecture halls, seminar rooms, and hybrid learning spaces.

Both of the company's latest interactive display series are powered by the newly improved myViewBoard digital whiteboarding software, featuring a redesigned interface, real-time collaboration tools, Participate Mode for student engagement, and built-in accessibility features. The platform supports flexible lesson planning and seamless content integration across different formats and devices, allowing educators to easily adapt their teaching workflows.

At Bett 2026, the company also showcased its scalable Education Ecosystem by combining myViewBoard with AirSync for seamless wireless casting and Manager for centralised IT control. Together, these solutions allow diverse deployment across classrooms and campus settings, helping institutions streamline teaching workflows and device management.

The company's integrated solutions are already being deployed in real-world learning environments. Educational institutions in the UK are adopting these solutions across diverse settings.
