Samsung WAFX-P puts AI at the front of the class
Samsung just unveiled WAFX-P at TCEA 2026 in San Antonio, an AI-based Interactive Display built for real classrooms. The promise is simple: more active students, more helpful teachers, and face-to-face learning that feels current with AI in the mix.
This isn't just a bigger whiteboard. Powered by Samsung AI Assistant, WAFX-P turns lectures into interactive, collaborative sessions-discussion-driven, group-oriented, and set up for quick formative checks in real time.
AI features that actually help
- Circle to Search: Instant lookups without breaking flow. Students can explore concepts on the spot.
- AI Summary: Clean summaries of lesson content to anchor note-taking and review.
- Live Transcript: Real-time captions for accessibility and easy catch-up. If attention slips for five minutes, students don't lose a full section.
Works with what you already use
WAFX-P carries Google EDLA certification, so it plays nicely with Google Classroom, Drive, and the tools your staff already knows. That means less hand-holding, fewer workarounds, and faster adoption.
TCEA is the right venue for this kind of launch, and EDLA ties it into the Google ecosystem educators rely on.

- Device management: Ensure MDM support for updates, app whitelists, and remote troubleshooting.
- Classroom setup: Check sightlines, glare, and audio pickup. Pair with a simple doc cam and a reliable stylus routine.
- Training: Run a 60-90 minute hands-on session focused on 3 workflows: discussion, group work, and quick assessment.
Beyond hardware: Samsung's education push
Through the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow program, the company says it has provided over $29 million in technology and classroom resources to 4,300+ U.S. schools, with a focus on problem solving, creativity, and real-world learning.
This school year, Mark Cuban and Emma Grede joined as the first ambassadors, backing AI literacy and mentorship for students and educators. With the Mark Cuban Foundation, Samsung is also expanding free AI training access.
How to pilot WAFX-P well
- Pick two classrooms (different grade levels or subjects) and run a 6-8 week pilot.
- Integrate with Google Classroom from day one-assignments, summaries, and transcripts in one place.
- Set clear norms for AI use: when to use summaries, how to cite sources from searches, and how transcripts are shared.
- Measure three things: student talk time, time-to-feedback, and catch-up rates for absent students.
- Document one repeatable workflow per teacher and roll it out department-wide.
