SlideEasy

This is MLH-supported presentation helper app.

Load pdf file with presentation. Next slide notes and configure things like time limits for individual slides and total time limit for presentation. At this point we can also choose what kind of information we want to see on our smartphone while presentation goes live on a second display. We might prefer to see just timers, full-screen note only or several elements at the same time.
In the end we can configure time alarms settings and activate smartwatch gestures.

Finally we tap Start, and presentation goes live on the big screen or projector connected via MHL cable. Now depending on previous configuration our phone can display either full screen slide notes, big timers or both elements along with slide miniature together. We can slide left or right to turn slide.

Now you may also change presentation slides tapping on the left or right part of your smartwatch screen.

Instead of tapping you might prefer to use gestures. With smartwatch on your right wrist you need to make a quick hand movement to the left side in order to switch to the next slide -it's a bit like turning a book page. Opposite movement will get you to the previous slide. We created our own algorithm that analyses smartwatch position and detect if slide change gesture occured. We require gesture to be quick so that you will not make it accidentally while naturally gesticulating.

Moving your hand inwards feels more natural that's why if you switch smartwatch to your left hand, app will adjust and in this situation gesture to the right will get you to the next slide.

Keeping time is particularly important aspect of good presentation. Our app can be pretty helpful here. Firstly it features timers with constant sync between smartphone and smartwatch parts. To make it faster to read we added visual signals - background will turn orange if you're in the last 10 seconds allowed within current slide or presentation. Background will turn red if you your time is up.

Finally we have buzz alarms in case you prefer not to be distracted at all looking at the watch. Single buzz will notify you that current time limit is just 10 seconds. Two buzzes mean that your time is up. This is discrete way of notifying user that will not be noticed by the audience.

Using both smartphone and smartwatch apps we can make very novel use of MHL technology !
