Promethean has announced its acquisition of interactive touch and pen technology from Light Blue Optics Limited, a developer of user-interface technology.
The deal includes the intellectual property rights for the technology and a key member of
LBO’s engineering team. The new interactive technology will further enhance students and teachers’ experience with
their Promethean classroom display for a seamless, engaging learning environment.

other solutions in the market, we found the technology developed by Light Blue Optics provides clearly
superior performance," said Promethean CTO. "Our upcoming hardware products that incorporate LBO’s technology, combined with
our ClassFlow interactive lesson delivery platform, form a powerful system for teaching and learning in the
classroom."
Nic Lawrence, co-founder of Light Blue Optics said, "We have had an excellent relationship with
Promethean as a major technology development partner. As the exciting new products that we worked
with Promethean to develop come to market, we are delighted that Promethean has chosen to acquire the technology."
