Pointer and Slide Advancer?

I use a great little remote from Logitech for presentations. Insert a USB dongle into the laptop and then click on the remote control to move forward / back and show a laser pointer.

Unfortunately, there are more and more seminar rooms instead of a projector huge TV which - as it belongs to television - are of course anti-reflective. So nothing with laser pointer, you can't see the point.

An old antenna / the classic telescopic pointer can provide a remedy, but I can't move so freely, because I have the laptop "further" click "or - whatever acts as nasty - with a device in each hand handle.

The mouse does not seem to show any option, which is not visible in presentation mode: - /

Unfortunately I could not find a "pointer with remote control" with an online search with the usual suspects. Maybe my search words were stupid? Is there something like that? Can you recommend something?

Ah

You can at least make the mouse visible

Then I could use my "air mouse" from home if that does not get too hectic with the hand gestures, thanks.

Point laser pointer or shake with the mouse over the foil. What do you visually mean to your viewers?
You have to build your slides so that you do not need this - sorry - visual gadgets. Should there be a question about a slide outside of your expectations, then you answer them with a view to the questions, not a glance at the slide behind you on the wall.
That's why it's the name of the visual gadgets. You have to focus on the laser pointer, after all, you have to hit your "target" on the slide somehow, how often is this even hit, you lose too much sight of your audience, most then lose lectures in such a situation the thread to what they want to say. The same is true of the mouse.
The presentation runs in your back, a certain disadvantage but you have to be able to handle it, be prepared for it, prepare. The presentation is not the main thing in lectures. Convince, get your statements to the audience, you need the spoken word. Technically, the use of pointer / mouse is not a problem, but can create a new one in the whole field of rhetoric / communication. If you are too busy with trivialities and thereby lose contact with the all-important - the listeners. (Then watch others in their presentation - how often, how long is handled on / with the slides, stitch points are searched on the slide). Incidentally, the number of listeners does not matter, the above applies from one to infinite (quite, very many).

Of course, you are "bound" to your laptop - ever thought to let somebody else control your presentation. Need a kind of "small script" when, which word to click, etc. And of course a certain amount of preparation. Since you've already done something similar for your lecture anyway, the creation is not a big additional task But then you are free, unbound. In particular, when one presentation hooks up, the other solves the problem and you continue to speak calmly, without speaking a few words about your presentation. The convinced, with solo you would only one thing - presentation switch to black / white - or display.

Unfortunately, this is often not possible with the complicated content of my slides. If I do not show with something - for example, to highlight things in a microscope or image analysis I would have to paste over all the little arrows that appear and disappear, so I can start bringing the talk on slides, right?

You have to focus on the laser pointer, after all, you have to hit your "target" on the slide somehow, how often is this ever hit, for too long you lose sight of your audience…

These are good tips for beginners, but even before my PhD thesis was defended I was on a level that I do not fumble wildly with the laser pointer in the foil or on each letter I read (no, do not worry, I have no slides on which only contains the text that I'm talking about, which I usually go out in protest).

If you are too busy with trivialities and thereby lose contact with the all-important - the listeners.

That's why I do not want to dance in front of the laptop to hit the right button for the next slide. I want something in my hand that does exactly what I want without having to think. This works very well with the laser pointer. I can point to the right where I want to and openly talk to the audience and keep eye contact.

ever thought someone else to steer your presentation

Unfortunately, my employer does not afford the luxury and people I see for the first time to clamp for something I would like to do.

This is not all, I'm looking for a simple solution on what to show on presentation slides running on a large screen TV.
