Mouse: Presentation clicker in Keynote #48

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
Connect any supported bluetooth mouse to iPad

Please provide any additional information below.

When running Keynote on iPad in presentation mode, a paired bluetooth mouse can 
be used as a clicker to move forward. However clicking the right mouse button 
will not move one slide back. ONLY the left button has any effect. Is it 
possible to fix this so that we can go forward and backward in presentations?

Hi Moustafa. I got all your mails/issues/etc.

How do you go back in Keynote? Didn't buy a copy of Keynote yet, as I don't 
have any cables to connect iPhone or iPad to projector.

You can assign middle and right clicks to actions with Activator preferences. I 
just don't know what actions would help.

Hello,

I tried all the settings in activator and it doesn't seem to work. I guess 
nothing can work because to move one slide back in keynote you have to do a 
slide gesture of some sort. 

BTW you can use keynote without a projector, the presentation will be 
fullscreen on your iPad and you can view it as you would on a projector. If you 
connect a projector your screen goes black and the picture is sent to the 
projector instead.

I also didn't see a "slide left" gesture as activator actions. I've even asked 
the author of Activator, but he's as busy as everybody else .. :) 
Let's see, maybe I can make a Mouse pro, or a Presenter app to control Keynote 
via a Bluetooth device.

That would be INCREDIBLE!! Especially if you can make it an iPhone app for 
example which would be easier than trying to use a hardware device. If you can 
make an iPhone Presenter app that can control presentations in Keynote (maybe 
using the iPhone volume buttons?) I gurantee you will become my personal hero 
and I will dedicate my life to building you a statue :) You have no idea how 
many people are dying for this!! The whole business world is begging apple for 
it! If such an app is made I guess it would be relatively easy to port it to 
work with any bluetooth mouse instead of the iPhone! Thanks!!!!

Keeping in mind that our presentation is running on the iPad of course :)

You want an app on the iPhone that controls Keynote on the iPad? Ok, I guess I 
can see the benefit of that. (and no need for the statue :) thanks) 

I think I'll try to see, if I can just provide the slide left gesture and sell 
it for a buck or two. (that's the help the customer although not particularly 
elegant)

For presentations on the Mac, I was happy with the Logitech presenter 
(http://www.amazon.de/Logitech-Cordless-Presenter-2-4-GHz/dp/B0007NDPP2) but 
that comes with an USB plug. :)

I'd be more than willing to buy it!! But if I were you I'd give the user the 
choice of using the volume buttons as well as using slide gestures (ala Apple's 
Keynote Remote app), its much easier than having to slide your finger on the 
iPhone screen while standing infront of a crowd giving a presentation. You 
could keep adding features to this app in the future (like seeing slides on 
your phone, seeing presentation notes) and it would sell big! Looking forward 
to it!

Just bought Keynote. Quick follow up: do you get slide notes on the iPad when 
presentation is on main screen? 'cause having those on the iPhone while 
controlling the presentation would rock :) and I supervised a similar term 
project maybe in 2004.

Nope, as soon as you connect iPad to a projector the iPad screen goes black, 
all you see is two white arrows (move forward and move back). 

However, if you press any part of the ipad screen you get a cool looking red 
laser pointer on the main screen (not the ipad screen) and you can move your 
finger around the ipad and watch the laser pointer move across the screen. if 
you can do something were the user can press and move their finger across the 
iphone screen and get the same effect i guess that would rock too! :)

IF you are running keynote on ipad _without_ the projector you can test and see 
this laser pointer for yourself, in that case if you press and hold the pointer 
will show on the ipad screen.

Thanks for the hint. Yes, the laser pointer simulation is cute. I'll try to see 
if I can make a little "LeftSwipe" action as everything else will take too much 
time, and, even worse, distract from other projects.

However, if you run "display out" (jail broken app) -it mirrors you screen so 
when you run your keynote it fills your screen, but also mirrors it on 
projector.  Now you can actually look at your ipad while presenting and not 
have to look at black screen.  

In theory then you can run it with your BT mouse. 

Agreed - iPhone app as remote for iPad keynote - priceless!!!  Vol button 
control awesome idea

matthias - how's that app coming.  I'd pay $10 for it, maybe more.

Hey guys - have just posted this in an attempt to find someone to create a 
remote / clicker solution for Keynote on the iPad: 

http://gnatgnat.com/2010/11/ipad-keynote-remote-a-proposal-part-1/

Don't know if this great conversation above actually inspired any solution? If 
not, consider this a re-ignition :-)

2 years later, but problem solved: BTC Mouse & Trackpad comes with a 
Presentation Mode that swipes left and right on mouse left/right.
