ZMotion Space Presenter

The ZMotion Wireless Space Presenter looks like a super-slim remote control, but does a lot more than just flip pages in a PowerPoint deck. Using internal sensors it can measure your movements along all 3-dimensions, tracking them on your computer screen. It’s bundled with software that lets you type on screen and use it just like a mouse too. Since the controller uses RF communication, you don’t need to point it directly at your computer either.

The ZMotion even includes a built-in laser pointer so you can highlight your presentation on the big screen. It can be found on Korea’s EarlyAdopter online shop for KRW 158,000 (appx. $170 USD) including a USB receiver dongle, charger cable and a nice carrying case.

The PCPAL 3-in-1 Laptop Mouse aims to integrate a mouse, laser pointer and presentation remote control in a single slim device.

The PCPAL is even slim enough to be stored in your laptop’s PC card slot. The remote can be used to control PowerPoint presentations, and functions over RF, so doesn’t require line-of-sight. Priced at about $40, it’s worth a look if you do lots of on-the-road presenting.
