Have you ever been in the middle of pitching your $100 million start-up and you interrupt your patter to inform the room of angel investors to turn to the next slide? That’s the situation Logitech hopes to avoid with two wireless professional presenter gadgets introduced Wednesday.
Both the Professional Presenter R400 and R800 “eliminate the need to run back to your computer or interrupt your PowerPoint presentation to tell your colleague to go to the next slide,” explained Rory Dooley, senior vice president and general manager at Logitech’s Control Devices business unit.
Each Professional Presenter is shaped like a TV remote and are wireless.
The R800 displays a green laser pointer and provides a 100-foot leash. An LCD panel will tell you if you travel beyond the optimum reception range. For long-winded presenters, the R800 includes a timer and the unit will vibrate when you are within five, two or 0 minutes of your cut-off.
The R800 will be available in Europe in August and the U.S. in September. The Logitech wireless Professional Presenter R800 is priced at $99.99.
The Logitech Professional Presenter R400 offers a red laser pointer and keeps a tighter reign on people with a 50-foot wireless range. The R400 costs $49.99 and will be available September.
