Many presenters like to use laser pointers during
their multimedia presentations. In fact, these can be quite useful devices when they perform
well. But how reliable are laser pointers?
Have you ever seen a presentation in which the
presenter couldn't keep the pointer steady? Your eyes move up and down and you can't concentrate
on what the speaker is saying. Or perhaps you have been the presenter? Ever try to juggle
the laser pointer, the projector remote and the cordless microphone? All these accessories
have value, but they can also hinder smooth transitions and a polished appearance.
The good news is that there is an easier way to
highlight want you want without using a laser pointer. Today many multimedia projector manufacturers
such as Epson offer "special effects" button on their projector remotes. These buttons allow you
to highlight, circle, point, and even zoom on the information you want to highlight. Better yet,
you can select the "special effects" that you want and where to place them on your remote.
Highlight what you want to say!
The next time you present, remember, you may be
able to leave your laser pointer at home!
