A friend of mine fell when going on stage for a conference. He broke his nose and there were lots of blood and an ambulance involved. Everybody remembers it.
It's great that you use that technique if it is going to make your presentation clearer, if using the projector really helped your audience to get whatever you were presenting better. If that was the case, congratulations for an original idea. But if they only remember you as the annoying guy who had everybody waiting while looking for a projector, I would not feel very proud of it.
- WalterBright 10y agoI had the sense to talk to the conference people a couple weeks in advance about the projector, and it was waiting in the conference room on schedule. So that wasn't a problem. It didn't affect the content of the presentation at all. The only issue was one of perception - I was talking about new technology, and was presenting using old technology. It wasn't congruent, and didn't really fit, although it was fun. Hence it was a one-off thing. I didn't do it again. I doubt today one could even find a viewfoil projector, and the audio-visual staff would be annoyed because it won't interface to their recording system. Annoying the AV staff is never a good idea.
