Goals • Give a good presentation • Most likely a Powerpoint presentation • With full control over flow of presentation • Troubleshoot • Not look like a fool • Easy to understand which output is what • Have easy control over room/audio settings
Morning At 9AM, Chris gives his Graph Theory class a lecture on knot theory. Since this lecture involves many complicated graphics, he has pre-drawn them and loaded them into a presentation. “This would be so much easier on the chalkboard.”
Afternoon In ARTS203, Sam gives the class a presentation about Modernism in the 60’s. She starts with a slideshow of images, and then loads up a DVD from the History Channel to explain the paradigms, then continues her slideshow. “Hey! Check out this awesome sculpture!”
Evening At 6PM, Alex comes in to give a recruiting talk to students who may be interested in internships; she gives this talk very frequently, especially in the fall. “I’m going to really nail this afternoon’s talk.”
Ordering of Inputs • Know all the needed sources ahead of time • Current system – middle-load • Frontloading allows for smoother transitions • Will presenter try to front load?
Settings • When does the user access them? • How often?
Home • To what level should settings be reset? • Public Device • Common Terminology
Mobile solution • Users walk around during their presentation • Lectern != portable • Handheld too small for 100% full functionality • Not everyone has smartphones • Comfort
Functionality • “Done” = RESET • Vertical settings sliders • Slider Memory • Device control (ie. DVD player) • Correlation between mini and big previews
