I give a lot of presentations throughout the year and used to use slide projectors. Most of the time I have 2 projectors set up side by side so I can project 2 slides at the same time. I converted to powerpoint mny years ago and can project 2 different slides if I have 2 different projectors. Most facilities only have one digital projector (due to cost) What I would like is a program that is either independent or perhaps a powerpoint plug in that will allow me to project 2 slides side by side from the same projector. Here is what the program HAS to do: Allow me to add slides and/or entire presentations to either side A or side B. Allow me to independently control each side, in other words one button on the keyboard will advance the left screen and another button will advance the right screen. the user should be able to choose which buttons do this Here is what I would like the program to do: It would be nice if you could adjust the size of the individual screens as if you were using 2 seperate projectors. This is just a bare minimum of what I need. I would like the programmer to use his/her creativity and make this app easy to use and very usefull for the end user. I don't care what language is used to code this app as long as it can be installed and removed for a windows PC (mac version would be nice also) and is completely compatible with PowerPoint. If there is already a program like this I would appreciate the input (I will pay for this info also) In your bid please include what functions you will include in the app. Happy Coding! Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

Astute (20 ratings) in Mumbai, Maharashtra India Bid id: 322,497   $150 (USD) Sep 25, 2002 7:15:21 AM EDT  9.15 (Superb)     Bidding by Astute Software - $150 Hello, We are interested in your project. Unfortunately we have not come across a readymade plugin that allows you to do what you want.. We have been working for the past on Visual Basic Based Kiosk Applications wherein we needed to show more than one presentation on the same screen. This is very similar to your requirement, the only difference being in those cases we were keeping the options for display fixed, whereas you would want a facility to change them as needed. So we would like to bid on this project. Please find a brief deliverable list, Technical Information below. Thanks - Mahesh Kanniah   Astute Software Deliverables Interface Shall be user friendly and shall follow the generic Windows Forms pattern interface Coding Standard The code would be strictly written according to industry standard conventions with remarks and proper documentation shall be maintained for future changes and easier understandability by any coder. Features 1. The application shall allow to project 1 or 2 slides at the same time. 2. The 2 powerpoint presentation screens can be resized to suit the purpose. If possible we shall give you a resizable slide box rather than having you enter the dimensions. 3. Have hotkeys to navigate each presentation individually from the keyboard. 4. Shall be fully compatible with Microsoft Powerpoint as it will use Powerpoint XP OLE objects hence it can read all previous version upto the latest XP formats. Package A setup.exe created in Setup Factory which you can use right away to install on any Windows PC. Project Technologies and technical information Platform Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000/NT Language Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Delivery Schedule 1 week.
