FIX8Group launches virtual presentation solution
- Details
Developed by technical event specialist FIX8Group, OctoCue enters the market as a professional-level control solution to offer live notes feedback, multi-presenter capability and seamless presenter switching. It features an easy-to-use interface which simplifies show control, enabling speakers to smoothly deliver their message in a virtual environment from wherever they are in the world.
“Many of our clients were asking how they could present virtually, but with the same production values and wow factor that they could achieve with live events,” says Paul Williams, FIX8Group’s technical director. “In response, drawing on the expertise of FIX8’s team of event specialists, we developed a way of giving them the same level of behind-the-scenes cueing and control that makes live events so effective.
“OctoCue allows the presenters to focus on the job of presenting, and gives the audience a seamless, professional and impactful experience.”
The process allows remote presenters to use any web-enabled device to control their slides and simultaneously view real-time slide notes. Show operators can monitor presenters, preview their clicks, and switch slide control between them, as required.
“We’re thrilled to bring OctoCue to the market,” says Nick Roberts, head of development. “Seamless slide control for virtual events has been a problem for a while, it’s great to be able to offer a tool that’s been designed to fix this issue.
“It’s great for presenters and gives event technicians the control they need. We have big plans for even more operating options over the coming months - keep an eye on our new OctoCue.com site for updates.”
