LONDON, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, 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 use across modern academic spaces, both EDLA-certified series feature advanced 64-point multi-touch technology, as well as built-in ambient light and PIR motion sensors that support improved energy efficiency. In addition to the global hardware debut, ViewSonic has also presented its latest education software advancements, reinforcing its integrated ecosystem for both 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."
Introducing the Newest ViewBoard Series
The EDLA-certified ViewBoard IFP35-1 Series* and ViewBoard IFP41-1 Series*, powered by Android 16, deliver 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 optimized 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 enhances classroom interaction. With availability in five wide sizes ranging from 55 to 98 inches, the IFP41-1 Series supports diverse teaching space configurations across higher education, including lecture halls, seminar rooms, and hybrid learning spaces.
Powering Education Through Integrated Software and Ecosystem Innovations
Both of ViewSonic's latest interactive display series are powered by the newly enhanced 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, ViewSonic has also showcased its scalable Education Ecosystem by combining myViewBoard with AirSync for seamless wireless casting and Manager for centralized IT control. Together, these solutions enable diverse deployment across classrooms and campus settings, helping institutions streamline teaching workflows and device management.
Real-World Deployments Across Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education

ViewSonic Unveils Industry's First Android 16-Powered Interactive Displays and Education Ecosystem Innovations at Bett 2026
ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi has appointed Elvira Dyangani Ose as Artistic Director of the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial to curate its second edition which opens in the autumn of 2026 and runs into 2027.
Building on the success of the inaugural edition that opened in 2024, the next edition of the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial, under Dyangani Ose's direction, will transform Abu Dhabi once again into an emirate-wide celebration of public art, culture and community.
The much-lauded inaugural edition of Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial, which exhibited throughout Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, ran from 15 November 2024 to 30 April 2025. The biennale featured site-specific installations by artists from the UAE and around the world, many of which were then acquired to remain as permanent public works including pieces by Kader Attia, Superflex, Nathan Coley, Wael Al Awar, Farah Al Qassimi and Shaikha Al Ketbi.
Elvira Dyangani Ose currently serves as Director of the MACBA, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona. Previously, she was Director and Chief Curator at The Showroom in London. Among other initiatives, she has held the roles of Curator of the eighth Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art, Senior Curator at Creative Time, and Curator of International Art at Tate Modern. She sat on the Advisory Council of Tate Modern and was a member of the Thought Council of Fondazione Prada, for whom she curated numerous exhibitions. She currently sits on the recently appointed Board of CIMAM – International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art.
Her curatorial projects, multidisciplinary in nature, reflect critically on the narration of history as a participatory experience, the traces of collective representation in public space, and the recovery of non-Western narratives and epistemologies. Her recent projects include Project a Black Planet – The Art and Culture of Panafrica (co-curated, 2024 – 2027), Coco Fusco. I Learned to Swim On Dry Land (2025) and Goshka Macuga's Miu Miu Tales and Tellers (convenor, 2024 - 2025).
Dyangani Ose holds a degree in Art History from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. She is a doctoral candidate in Visual Studies at Cornell University in New York, where she earned a Master of Arts. She has a Diploma of Advanced Studies in Theory and History of Architecture from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. She taught at Goldsmiths College as a specialist in Museology, Curating, Black Studies, and Contemporary African Art.
Further details and dates relating to the second edition of Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial will be announced in due course.
