In the age of the iPad, why should we rely on the same old slideshows? We shouldn’t. How does it work? It takes the metaphor of aviation, with one pilot and a series of passengers. (Okay, it might be a bit hokey to imagine a meeting as a “flight through ideas,” but the metaphor works, as you’ll see.) The pilot boots up her presentation on her iPad; any PDF file is fair game. Up to 15 passengers–the presentation’s audience–check in on their own iPads via WiFi or Bluetooth. Now the pilot steers the presentation. She swipes over to the next slide, and the action is replicated automatically on the passengers’ screens. She zooms in, and their iPads zoom in as well. They’re along for the ride. As one of the developers said at the Tech Meetup: “It literally keeps everyone on the same page.”
