Many classic tools aren't suitable for videos. Whiteboards are reflective and often have poor contrast, whiteboards look old-fashioned, and flipcharts are awkward to use.
Lightboards provide a remedy: You write on a glass panel directly in front of you. Neon pens make the writings and sketches glow and provide perfect contrast. This results in a modern overall impression and you as a speaker always have eye contact with the camera to address the audience directly.
