Abstract
A system that includes environmental controls is described that at least enhances the experience of giving or viewing a presentation. During a presentation, multiple controls are available which enable the presenter to have direct control of the presentation environment. The system, for example, makes it easier to give presentations, both public and private, using computer-aided text, images, and sounds. Using this system, it is possible, for example, for presenters to practice a presentation before actually giving it, to transmit a presentation, either pre-recorded or live, from a remote location(s), to record a presentation for later distribution, to view a pre-recorded or live presentation from a remote location(s), or to upload a video or audio message to a website. This system includes a combination of, for example, an exemplary integrated information presentation device, an Integrated Presentation Environment Assembly with Controls, an information display device system, a stylus, and a remote control.
