This is a summary -- but please respond to this if you have any better
answers to questions so I can send them on.
Jeff Staffon from ANL west had a few questions.
Situation: A user was giving a presentation in shared powerpoint. He was
having trouble pointing at the details in equations when he was talking.
Jeff's questions:
Q: Would it be possible to have a pointer tool that presenters could use
to point at the powerpoint?
A: nothing immediately available, but whiteboards/annotations could be
possible.
Q: Is an elmo (overhead-like camera for handwritten notes) useable in the
AG?
A: If it is similar to a TV source, yes (Anybody have a concrete answer?)
Q: How do people generally point at complex things like equations on an
AG powerpoint?
A: Not sure, break up the slides, or verbally describe.
(Tom had a good suggestion; make multiple slides that are similar,
but with highlighted portions.)
Also:
Q: Is there anything to worry about if switching a node's Linux video
machine (only running VideoProducers) to Windows?
A: Make sure your cameras and/or video cards will work in windows.
Ag-tech had some discussion on that this week.
