The DUVAGA Projection System [VPS] has been featured in an article for the CTL Newsletter this quarter:
This fall, the DUVAGA development group released a
new version of the projection software which gives the
user the option to use the multiple display capability in
any classroom. This new version automatically detects the
number of displays (projectors and computer screen) and
puts the control panel on the computer screen. In a room
with a single projector, the instructor can show the gallery
of images to the class and manipulate them through the
control panel. The new projection software can be installed
on nearly any computer (laptop or desktop) through
a simple download. Finally, the problems that faculty
members encountered with the old projection software have
been resolved and the new system is stable with several
added features.
The software is built upon the Adobe Integrated Runtime
which provides a lot of flexibility for users. “Not only does
AIR allow for rich content integration such as audio and
video streaming, but it is built to be cross-platform while
allowing the detection of multiple displays, as well as other
hardware and operating system advantages,” says Joseph
Labrecque, Senior Multimedia Application Developer
at the CTL. “That’s a really powerful combination of
features.”
I’ll be showcasing this application during my FITC unconference presentation.
