Featured blog this time is not really related to S60. I feature it on S60Tips.com because it is entertaining to watch. Marco Tempest is a magician who uses technology is his performance.

He has been posting a series of short performance on YouTube. All of them are recorded using mobile phone’s camera. Some of them are recorded using Nokia N73, which is one of S60 devices.

Marco claims that what we see is the original video from the phone’s camera. No post production editing at all! Sometimes, he even posted another video about the secret of how he does his performance.

In my last posting, I discussed ImageExpo that allows us to project our phone’s screen to a PC. This time, I am going to discuss Psiloc Wireless Presenter.

It has a feature that is similar to ImageExpo, that is projecting phone’s screen to PC. However, its main feature is actually controlling our PC from the phone. For instance, you can control Power Point presentation via your phone. In other words, you are using your phone as a “remote control” to your PC.

Imagine that you want to do presentation on your client using PowerPoint. What you have to do is copy your PowerPoint slide to the phone. At your client side, you just transfer the file from your phone to a PC and then use Psiloc Wireless Presenter to do the presentation.

Imagine you want to show how to do someting on your S60 phone to a large audience. What would you do? Your phone’s screen is so small; most of them will not be able to see it. One way to do it is by using ImageExpo from SysOpenDigia.

ImageExpo is the ideal presentation and demonstration tool for Symbian devices and applications: ImageExpo enables displaying the phone screen on a PC or video projector in real time via Bluetooth, USB or Internet connection. It brings maximum attention and quality to any application, service or device related presentation.

Basically there are two parts of the software. The first part is an agent installed on phone. The second part is a PC application that connects to the phone and display the screen of the phone. You can then connect the PC to a projector. The picture below shows the architecture of ImageExpo.

As you can see above, you can connect the phone to the PC via Internet, Bluetooth or USB. You can also send the key and mouse events from your PC to the phone. Basically the PC will be a remote control to the phone.

The picture below shows the screenshot of the PC application of ImageExpo.
