Tips: Use VMagicMirror for Presentation
In control panel Streaming
tab, at Motion
item, check on Presentation-like hand
to enable presentation like right hand motion.
This feature is, in short, the feature to point the mouse pointer position by right hand.
You can integrate this feature with presentation in many ways.
In this section there are 3 steps to create presentation with VMagicMirror.
Check slide layout
We should check the slide layout to avoid conflict with the presentation and the character.
Please keep right-bottom side of the slide blank to put character.
It will be also impressive if it is not blank but a wiped window or some room-like background.
Slide page number also should NOT be at right bottom so move them to left bottom side etc.
You can combinate your character and right top side of the slide.
- Serifu text
- Comic-like signs (“漫符” in Japanese)
Though written in Japanese, the following video also will be hints for you.
VMagicMirror Setup
- Setup according to Get Started
- Check on
Presentation-like hand
, then you are ready to adjust your character’s motion.
To adjust the right arm motion:
Open setting window from control panel Home
tab > Open setting window
, and select Motion
tab.
See Arm
menu, and if the right arm goes in character’s body, increase Arm position radius min[cm]
.
That’s all! Now you are ready for the presetation.
If you want further custom, please see Motion and Effects.
Presentation
During the presentation move the mouse to control character’s hand motion.
If your tool for the presentation is Microsoft PowerPoint, then right-click over the slide show mode slide then you will see Pointer Option
and Laser Pointer
like option to switch the mouse pointer appearance. It helps the expression.
Hint: Though it is a bit difficult, try to move the mouse by left hand, and physically points your right arm to slide. As a result, you and the character points the slide at same time (as if your arm motion is captured).
