Natalia,

One solution could be a wireless keyboard and/or mouse. We are using a 
setup like that and have had some success with it. With the transmitter 
sitting on top of the node, the presenter can control his/her slides 
without intervention from the node operator.

You are correct that a laptop with a Venue Client and the Shared 
Presentation tool installed would work. But in some cases I have found 
presenters unwilling to have software installed on their laptops - plus 
they arrive 30 minutes beofre a meeting and that's a crunch to get a 
minimal AG install completed.

In some cases they are hesitant to move their presentation off of their 
personal laptops which creates another can of worms, and VNC works well 
for that. It's kind of circumventing the Shared tools, but in a crunch 
it works.

Hope this helps.

-Jason
