Presentor

Use your Bangle to present! This app basically turns your BangleJS watch into a presentor tool. Very useful for presentations or when you are teaching a lesson.

Features:

  • Control your (powerpoint) slides by swiping left and right.
  • See pre-programmed presentation notes by swiping up and down.
  • See if you are on time in your presentation.
  • Get notified if you go over-time for a certain subject.
  • Control cursor or spotlight in mouse mode (pressing the button).
