Abstract:
In this paper we describe a new tool for interactive presentations: the speaker shows a common slideshow on
the screen, and the users can see the same slide in their smartphone or tablet, independently from its model and
brand. The system can be used for both on-line and on-site presentations and encourages the user to perform
social activities, e. g., comment or like a slide. The author can also submit a questionnaire or a poll to the
audience and see in real-time the answers. Our tool has been used during 37 different events, followed by
3753 users. We recorded the actions of the users and, depending on the different kind of events, the average
of actions ranges from 1 to 8 per user per presentation. This data shows that our tool helps to increase users
engagement and to maintain user attention.
