What is a GuiBoard?
In 2006 we invented GuiMags: magnetic user interface controls to use on your whiteboard. You can write on them, wipe off and move them around. Within days of their public release a couple years later, they became a popular tool for developers and interface designers to replace old techniques like Paper Prototyping.
Taken aback by the sudden popularity (we were completely sold out within a couple days) we understood there were more people besides us that loved using them. We decided to release more of the tools we crafted in secret.
GuiBoards are a simple but genius concept.
They are magnetic dry-erase boards especially made for developers and software designers. Underneath the coating, there’s a printed grid that displays traceable lines. Trace the right color and you’ll have the perfect resolution for drawing wireframes for an iPhone, computer screen, HD TV and so on. Of course, you can also ignore the grid and use it as a normal whiteboard.
The resolutions are corresponding exactly with the size of the GuiMags. This makes it easy to simply snap a picture of your wireframe and send it to your team for development. No need to use a computer at all.
