Whats the difference between a presentation and a slideshow presentation?
Presentation: allows you to use the lightboard for whatever you want. Slideshow: let you select a PDF or other media file as the background as the lightboard so you can annotate the media behind you.
Can I use the keyboard and mouse/trackpad?
Yes. You can use the mouse to active buttons. You can also use the trackpad to zoom in and out. There are also shortcuts to all the buttons, check out the menu bar when drawing. For example pressing Option + 3 changes the drawing line width to large
Is there a way to pause the input so I can move around in front of the webcam with other people without accidentally drawing?
Yes. You can press the space bar to pause the recognition of hand movements.
What are all the keyboard shortcuts?
Look at the menu bar when drawing. There are menus for Action, Size, Color action Draw. Select these and you can see the shortcuts. A shortcut always the Option Key + a short key.
I want myself as the presenter to be infront of the drawing not behind. How do I do that?
Go to the Settings menu. In Advanced settings, you can select "Presenter in front".
Can I zoom in and out?
To zoom in and out of the page, put both hands up and apart. Make sure your fingers and thumb on each hand are close together. When the app has recognised this gesture, you will see two magnifying glasses. Move your hands futher apart to zoom in, move them closer together to zoom out.
How to swipe objects out of the way?
Once you have an object selected with your index finger, bring all your fingers together and turn your palm to face upward and facing the camera. You should then see the swipe icon. You can then move the object around. A sharp quick flick of the hand will propell the object off screen."
Can I add media to the lightboard as well as drawing?
You can add pdf, photos and video to the lightboard. When you are in the project view, select the "media" tab. Import your media files. Then in the drawing view you should see in the top control buttons a media button. Select this button and the imported media will be displayed. Select the media you want to add with your index finger or mouse. Swipe (bring all your fingers and thumb together) and move your media to where you want it.
