A transparent overlay for computer-based presentations

Abstract

The project aims at building an application that would simulate a transparency that can either be overlaid on top of the graphical display of another application or used as a stand-alone by accepting input from a keyboard or a mouse to enhance a presentation. The project provides an environment to accentuate the presentation by allowing the presenter to add on to the slide content dynamically using this transparency. This application could be used not only in seminars and academic presentations, but also in the emerging concept of computer-based teaching and remote teaching via Virtual Network Computing (VNC) wherein audience logon to the presenter's computer from a wide variety of machine architectures. This application is a step towards complete automation of a slide presentation. It has been developed using the Win32 API (Application Programming Interface) in the Microsoft Windows environment. This stand-alone application supplements any slide display - on the web or any other application. The transparency is essentially a transparent window that provides options to write and draw with the same screen on the background
