Control PowerPoint playback and desktop projection with Apple Watch

Summary

Apple Watch started a week and tried some interesting features, and here's an example of how to use watch to make a cool play controller using the iOS version of PowerPoint for watch.

Ready

• Apple Watch that has been paired with the iphone
• PC or Mac (here's the example of Windows Technical Preview)
• WiFi internet
• Projector

Method

We know that watch will stay connected after pairing with the iphone via Bluetooth, which is the basis for all watch OS apps and iOS app communications. So watch can't communicate directly with the PC, so how do we implement the watch control PC-side PowerPoint? There should be no workaround at this time, unless Microsoft or Apple will have adaptable changes in the future. And watch's pairing with the iphone is the product logic for the current watch. Here we have to detour, using Apple's airplay technology.

2. Install PowerPoint on iOS and open the Apple Watch system app on your iphone, find PowerPoint on the my Watch tab, set it to show apps on Apple watch . Slightly, PowerPoint will be installed in watch and displayed in the App icon dial.
4. To install itools on your PC, you need to use the airplay functionality provided by Itools. Install the " Apple Recorder Master " in the Toolbox and modify the image size in settings , such as 640x1136 for iphone 5s.
6. Connect your PC and iphone to the same Wi-Fi network, and in the iphone's control center you should see the Airplay button, click, select Itools[your PC name] to project your iphone screen to PC Desktop, Screen Recorder master automatically pops up the synced screen window.
8. Open PowerPoint in the iphone and open the document, open the Watch in PowerPoint, the following screen will appear (Start button, click to start the play time and can page back and forth; Press and hold the surface will pop up the hidden menu " restart " and " End Show "):
10. Copy or extend the PC desktop to the projector.
    

at this point you can stand in any position you want to lift an arm (a strange picture) and start presentation .

Note

Q: What does " hard hold " mean in step 4?

A:apple Watch touchscreen uses the Forcetouch technology, will feel the touch force to respond, press light will only recognize as normal touch click.

Q: Are there any other tools besides itools?

A: Sure, but the itools effect is good. In fact Itools also provides a " real-time desktop " function to achieve similar projection effect, but the actual use of the lag obvious, no airplay technology smooth.

How does an operating system other than q:windows work?

A: Online said Mac can be used AirServer or reflection software implementation Airplay, there is no practice. For the Linux environment Online said that someone has been related to the crack, the specific operation do not know.

Q: Are you here to show off?

A: No. Are you kidding ( I'll add an extra egg to the pancake fruit and you'll think I'm gorgeous )?
