Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for making a more effective presentation to an audience. A method comprises displaying the presentation on a first display screen oriented for viewing by a presenter while facing the audience while also displaying the presentation on a second display screen (or several display screens) oriented for viewing by the audience. The presenter highlights certain aspects of the presentation by using a laser pointer directed at the first display screen which can be done while the presenter faces the audience and without having to turn away from the audience. An image representing the laser light (and any movement thereof) is displayed at a corresponding relative position on the second display screen (or several display screens) for viewing by the audience in conjunction with the presentation. A presentation system is provided with a laser sensitive presenter screen to detect the laser light which is processed and caused to be displayed to the audience on the presentation screen in conjunction with the presentation.
