Wizard Sharing - is a startup about broadcasting presentations without using projectors

[vlad_wazer]

Hi, everyone! I want to tell about my project.

Wizard Sharing lets you create a broadcast presentation without the need for a projector or other accessories. It's so easy to do - just upload your presentation to the service!
Created to make life easier for people giving presentations.
Wizard Sharing will help every company, educational institution and the common man greatly simplify the structure of meetings, conferences, etc.
What do you think about idea?

Full details of the project can be found on Kickstarter.

Powered by Wazer Studio

Doesn’t PowerPoint and OneDrive already do this?

 

[Mark T Jones]

Have you identified a target audience who need/want this service over the ones already available?

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

without the need for a projector

Then what do you show it on?

 

[GraemeL]

"The service will then create a link to your broadcast and you can easily send it to your colleagues. And then your colleagues can simply open the link to the broadcast on any device. And then the magic begins, is that you don't need a projector and other accessories. You simply control the presentation from any device. And your colleagues will see the presentation on their devices."

Or they could use Microsoft Teams. Or Zoom. Or any other kind of remote meeting software.

 

[IanSuth]

Even google drive and a "can view" link to the presentation (what we use for the county rugby team with the set plays/calls etc)

This web application is designed to broadcast presentations without the need for an expensive projector. In other words, so that every user at a conference, lecture or any other event can see all the information on any of their devices. That is, Wizard Sharing is not designed for remote use. Only with a live audience and meeting

 

[fisicx]

Can’t really see the point. You can already do this with MS products.

 

[japancool]

I have a friend called Harry P., he's interested in wizard sharing.

 

[vlad_wazer]

Well, yes, MS products have similar features. But Wizard Sharing is designed for live meetings, lectures and classes, not remote.

 

[vlad_wazer]

If you are interested I can attach a Wizard Sharing presentation here. It has examples of how the software works and all the details.

Good joke

So, the idea is to get 50 people in a room for a presentation and then no one looks at the presenter or single screen because they are looking at their phones/tablets.........

 

[vlad_wazer]

Have you identified a target audience who need/want this service over the ones already available?

Yes, I have already identified the target audience:
1) Educational institutions (teachers, university professors, students, schoolchildren, etc.)
2) Conferences (project managers, recruiters, programmers, company owners, conference speakers, etc.)

 

[Mark T Jones]

Yes, I have already identified the target audience:

So that's where you need to be focusing your marketing.

Reading this and your kick-start I'm seeing that you are a programmer- perhaps a very talented programmer

At this stage, what your business needs is a marketer, otherwise whatever you have will he lost.

Thank you very much for your advice) I will start looking for a marketer)

All of these already have projectors. No need to share anything.

I don't agree with you, not everyone has a projector. You were probably educated in the UK and I was educated in Ukraine. It is likely that many educational institutions in the UK have projectors. So I can say with 100% certainty that very few educational institutions in my country and neighbouring countries have a projector. The same applies to companies, not all companies have a projector.

So, the idea is to get 50 people in a room for a presentation and then no one looks at the presenter or single screen because they are looking at their phones/tablets.........

Imagine a situation where there is a presentation through a projector and everyone is looking at the same screen. And there are a lot of people, for example 50 people. Will people who are sitting or standing far away from the screen see the presentation? Will they be comfortable if they can't see anything? I don't think they will be comfortable. Even then, you can use Wizard Sharing and broadcast the presentation through a projector. But people who are sitting far away will be connected and will be able to see the whole presentation through their devices.

Important point here:

There is no point at all trying to sell your idea to people who aren't likely to be your target customer. And those who are should be smacked in the face with one or 2 compelling benefits.

Approach educational establishments; find out if they perceive there to be a problem, establish how enthusiastic they are for a solution - then get into the real nitty-gritty of research.

I seem to recall that language labs used a similar, if not the same idea, in the olden days. Each student was in a sort of booth with their own screen and would use headphones, so they could speak without interfering too much with other students. Teacher broadcast same presentation to everyone without a big screen.

 

[Fagin2021]

Sounds great for those of us who want to watch the test match, (or porn, if you're an MP) while looking like we're paying attention.

If this is the case you are asking the wrong people. Projectors are ubiquitous here in the UK.

For those countries that don’t use projectors, how can you be sure everyone will have a suitable device and there is an available Wi-Fi?

So no change there!

Just realised that this already exists. It’s called a webinar.

I wrote above that this is not a webinar. If you want , you can go up and above and re-read all my message. In the 21st century, the internet is everywhere. Projectors are not available everywhere.

 

[fisicx]

I wrote above that this is not a webinar.

Yes, but that’s what people will think when they see your offer.

Here in the UK projectors are everywhere. What isn’t available everywhere is a suitable device for everyone.

 

[UKSBD]

I can’t understand all these what’s the point you can already do it on a, b, c, d, etc. posts, So what, if this does it better and is marketed well?

 

[paulears]

I'm an ex-college lecturer and school supply teacher. Everywhere has projectors. If you run a conference you hire in everything you need. Including big screens. The cost of giving everyone a tablet or computer is higher than a screen and worst still, the person presenting does not know who has a correct image and who have lost connection. I'm dubious about this number of wifi connections in one room too. How much is the RF distribution to make this reliable?

I have the rotten job of running these kinds of events in large venues and in many we cannot even get reliable connection of the remotes on the lighting and sound. Jimmy Carr gets the audience to text in heckles and jokes and seeing a thousand texts suddenly appear, or not depending on how 3G works makes me think that you really need to think about the infrastructure here. In many venues wifi is really flaky.

Still got one of those in the garage! It’s one of those things I have no use for but loath to get rid of it. I’ve even got a box of skins for it. Ink is probably a bit dried out though.
