Way back in 2006 I blogged about meeting Dr. Neil Roodyn,
and being
introduced to Tablet computing. I’m
proud to say that 11-years later I’m still part of Tablet computing and still
close mates with Neil. A lot has happened since then and there has certainly
been a gap between my blogging. I’ve got three kids now, my Tablet business
have grown from a simple garage operation at home, to business operations in
Australia, Europe and North America. Dr. Neil has also established himself globally
and in the process become a Microsoft Surface MVP; the world’s first actually.
I caught up with Neil in his office recently and share a
chat about his latest software development and in particular “seamless
computing” techniques [as
seen on Engadget] called nSquared Presenter. I truly love the concept.
Watching as users flick and send each other notes, images and deliver
presentations from Surface Table, to iPhone to Tablet is amazing. As long as
you are part of the Wi-Fi (or connect) network, i.e. same subnet mask, then the
content will be seamlessly shared between yourself and your colleagues. It’s
truly a step in the right direction and part of the manner in which 2012 will
see effective use of the plethora of devices now ubiquitously carried by all.
About nSquared Presenter:
nsquared presenter allows you to collaboratively
create and deliver presentations using all the devices you find in a meeting
room. From your tablet to the projected screen on the wall and the iPads your
colleagues have, nsquared presenter has it covered.
Your team can build a new presentation timeline of content
including slides, spreadsheets, documents, images and movies brought together
from different files. It can be done on the tablet, a table-top computer, an
interactive touch screen, or all three! This timeline you create together
becomes the new presentation and will synchronize with all of the other devices
running nsquared presenter.
