Abstract
A system for organizing and presenting information includes one or more computers connected in a network with a touch screen controlling the display of images on one or more other displays. In a courtroom setting, the touch screen is located at a podium with a presenting attorney, and the one or more other displays are positioned to be viewed by a judge or jury. Presentations are built by selecting names of images from a list, viewing a plurality of thumbnail representations of those images, and selecting images for a presentation from the thumbnail representations. The touchscreen display at the podium allows the presenting attorney to preview images before they are displayed on the one or more other displays.
