AI Smartboard for Masjid at Taqwa

AI Smartboard for Masjid At-Taqwa, Bangi

Masjid At-Taqwa in Bangi has been moving steadily towards digitalising how it runs internal presentations and meetings. As part of that effort, the masjid installed an Arvia AI smartboard for masjid use, replacing the whiteboard that used to be the default tool for committee discussions and planning sessions.

Moving Beyond the Whiteboard

Like many community institutions, Masjid At-Taqwa’s committee meetings and planning sessions used to rely on a conventional whiteboard. It worked well enough for jotting down points during a discussion, but notes stayed on the board, and anything presented from a laptop needed extra cables or a separate projector setup, which could slow down the start of a meeting.

An AI smartboard for masjid use addresses both of these gaps at once. It keeps the familiar experience of writing and presenting on a large screen, while adding the digital features that make meetings easier to run and easier to follow.

A Camera That Follows the Conversation

One feature that has made a real difference in committee meetings is ArviaBoard’s built-in camera with automatic voice tracking. As different committee members speak during a discussion, the camera follows the conversation, framing whoever is talking without anyone needing to adjust it manually, which is especially useful when a meeting is being recorded for members who could not attend in person. For meetings involving several people around a table, that keeps the session feeling natural rather than fixed on a single angle.

Clearer Text With Arabic OCR Support

ArviaBoard’s built-in OCR supports Arabic script in addition to Latin text, which matters for a masjid where notes, references and discussion points are often written in Arabic. Text written or presented on the board is recognised more clearly, making it easier to read back and share compared to a photograph of handwriting on a conventional whiteboard.

This is a small detail, but it is an important one for Masjid At-Taqwa’s day-to-day use. It means the technology adapts to how the committee already works, rather than asking them to work around the limitations of the device.

Key Features at a Glance

This AI smartboard for masjid use brings together several features Masjid At-Taqwa now relies on:

• Built-in camera with automatic voice tracking for meetings and discussions
• OCR that recognises Arabic script as well as Latin text
• Wireless screen sharing directly from a laptop or phone
• Direct USB connection for presentations without extra adapters
• A single large display that replaces both whiteboard and projector

Presenting Without the Cable Hunt

Wireless screen sharing means anyone presenting from a laptop or phone can mirror their screen onto ArviaBoard in moments, without searching for the right cable or adapter. For a masjid committee that often has different people presenting at different meetings, that removes a small but recurring source of delay at the start of every session.

For presenters who prefer a direct, wired connection, ArviaBoard also supports USB connectivity, so content can be plugged in and displayed immediately. Having both options available means the board fits whichever way a presenter is already comfortable working.

Supporting a Masjid’s Digital Journey

Masjid At-Taqwa’s move towards digitalisation goes beyond a single piece of hardware. Replacing the whiteboard with an AI smartboard for masjid use is one part of a broader effort to make committee work, planning and community communication more organised and easier to follow for everyone involved.

As more masjid and community institutions across Malaysia look at similar upgrades, this project is a practical example of how the right technology can support that journey without asking committee members to change the way they already prefer to meet and present.

Built for How Committees Actually Meet

Masjid committees are often made up of volunteers juggling the masjid’s needs alongside work and family commitments, so meetings need to make the most of the limited time everyone can set aside. An AI smartboard for masjid use is not about adding complexity to that process, it is about removing the small frictions that slow a meeting down: hunting for a cable, redrawing a diagram that was already discussed last week, or struggling to read handwriting captured in a hurried photo of a whiteboard.

With everything from presentations to handwritten notes captured clearly on one screen, committee members at Masjid At-Taqwa can spend more of their meeting time on the actual discussion, and less time on the logistics of running it.

A Technology That Respects How It Will Be Used

When introducing technology into a religious or community setting, it matters that the tool fits naturally into how the space is already used rather than demanding a different way of working. Masjid At-Taqwa’s committee did not need to change its meeting style to use ArviaBoard. Writing, presenting and discussing continue exactly as before, the difference is that everything is now captured, shared and referred back to with far less friction than a conventional whiteboard allowed, which is ultimately what good technology in a community space should do.

Installed and Explained by Arvia

Arvia’s team installed the AI smartboard on site and walked Masjid At-Taqwa’s committee through its core functions, from wireless screen sharing to the voice-tracking camera and OCR features. The goal was to make sure the committee could start using the board confidently for its very next meeting, without needing to call for technical support each time.

That hands-on handover reflects how Arvia approaches every deployment: the technology should make a meeting easier to run from the first session onward, not add a learning curve on top of the committee’s existing responsibilities, especially for volunteers already stretched thin.
