SliderMan is wireless presenter application with Android Wear support. With SliderMan you will be able to control your presentation (PowerPoint, Keynote, OpenOffice or LibreOffice) with an Android device (Phone, Tablet and Wear).

Change slides, toggle fullscreen on/off, keep track on how many slides left. Android Wear device will vibrate each minute to help you keep timing [can be disabled in options].

First of all, you do need to install this app to your computer (PC - Windows and Linux, or Mac), to your Android phone (4.0+ Android supported) and optionally to your Android wear device.

Please find desktop application here: [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B20ZPV-Tb2gPRXJLR3puTFUzSWM&usp=sharing]

After this, you need to establish connection between desktop and phone applications. To do this, both computer and phone have to be connected to one Wi-Fi. (However, sometimes Wi-Fi is configured in a way, that connection can't be established. In this situation, there is an easy workaround - enable Portable Wi-Fi hotspot on your Android device [Settings -> More... -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot]. Then connect your computer to this hotspot and it should be enough).

Launch both computer and phone applications:

On computer you have two options to choose from.

1. [Recomended] Press “Choose presentation”, in opened window you will be able to find file of your presentation. Application then will get some useful information from the file (i.e. page count, name, etc.). Press “Start” button and you are done.

2. Press “Start” button and open your presentation in PowerPoint, Keynote, OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Presentation window should be focused (active).

On your phone you just need to launch the application, from that point it will handle all communication with PC. After connection is established, you should see “Connected” indicator on the phone and PC application, also the app will be launched on your watch too (if available).

Congratulations! You are ready to manage your presentation via phone/watch application.
