The new board is now one giant flat-screen TV with a single monitor that uses laser beams and an LED display, according to BuzzerBlog. Using Lidar technology, which was used on the Mars rover, White just has to run her hand over the screen, and a laser will detect her presence and show the letter, which can be seen in a “ Good Morning America” video. Among the new looks was a brand new puzzle board. White, 65, used to have to manually turn each letter piece, but this new high-tech board will allow her to uncover the letters without even touching them.
