Tech giant Google recently unveiled the Jamboard. Google's latest creation is a massive touch display with added cloud services that aims to help business and enterprise users to brainstorm for new ideas.

Just like a conventional whiteboard, the Google Jamboard allows users to sketch on the display and attach sticky notes. With added cloud and digital services, the Jamboard allows users to bring up web contents into the display. The Jamboard boasts of a 55-inch display. The digital board supports tablet and smartphone apps both for the iOS and Android platforms.

The Jamboard is currently available in private beta for business customers that signed up for Google's G Suite service. Google is planning to release the Jamboard to the general public early in 2017, according to Computer World.

For companies that have already invested in Google's G Suite productivity services, integrating the Google Jamboard into their workplace is an option. Some tech experts agree that the Jamboard offers an interesting and digital approach to the conventional whiteboard used in offices.

The Google Jamboard supports 4K resolution. It also comes with a pair of high-precision styluses which Google claims are ideal for writing and sketching. The package also comes with a digital eraser that serves as a cleaning cloth.

The Jamboard has an integrated camera, speakers, and microphones. Google said that the device comes fully supported with Hangout experience making it ideal for conference meetings as well.

Google is yet to confirm the official price of the Jamboard, although estimates put the board's price at around $6,000. Should companies decide to integrate this device into their meeting rooms, it could likely cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
