- gelatocar 12y agoGenuine question, why?
- zyxley 12y ago"So if you look at line 7, you'll see..."
- shironinja 12y ago... that the presenter should buy a laser pointer!
- alblue 12y agoLaser pointers don't work if the video is being recorded or screencast at the same time. They only work when the viewer is in the same room, and even then, they are typically pretty poor.
- luddypants 12y agoThis also applies to comments within the presentation, not just the verbal part of the presentation.
- hayfield 12y agoOut of several dozen different uses of laser pointers, I've only ever been able to (easily) see perhaps 3 or 4 of them, plus another small portion if focusing entirely on the game of spot-the-laser-pointer. It's related to my colourblindness. As such, verbal cues (or a long stick) are preferable to a laser pointer. Of course, use a laser pointer to assist those who can see it, but it's better assume half the people in the room can't and use words to this effect.
