Logitech has released the Spotlight Presentation Remote, a presentation control tool that goes beyond laser pointing and enables users to highlight and magnify on-screen content.
“Presentations are nerve-wracking,” says Marcel Stolk, senior vice president of the Creativity and Productivity business group at Logitech. “For most, the main stumbling block is a lack of confidence – we just get nervous. Spotlight is easier to use and, most importantly, gives you new ways to engage your audience versus a hard-to-see laser pointer.”
Spotlight allows users to navigate slides and interact with on-screen content from up to 100 feet away. The remote boasts mouse-like cursor control to play videos and open links, and unlike a laser, the cursor and highlights are visible to both a live audience and those on a video conference.
Additionally, by pairing Spotlight with the Logitech Presentation app, users can toggle pointer mode, set timed vibration alerts, or activate more advanced functions like volume control with hand gestures. The remote also connects via USB receiver or Bluetooth Smart technology.
Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote is now available from Logitech and Apple for $129.99, and will be available from additional retailers worldwide in March.
