[0001] The present invention relates to the field of educational teaching/training technologies applied for students as well as different organizations.
[0002] In many educational teaching/trainings content are delivered to the audience (students/employees etc.) either in direct presence or virtual (online) modes using power-point presentations (PPT). This practice is in contrast to olden days where black-board was the way to teach and deliver live content to audience.
[0003] PPT presentation share become very popular over black-board teaching methods since they provide a better visual, graphical and intuitive understanding of the concepts that makes them more teacher-friendly as well as audience-friendly. Having said that, PPT presentations are not without limitations and they lack some features such as:
(1) Real-time (or on-the-go) editing/free-hand drawing of PPT content in a live and interactive manner is generally difficult unlike in black-board teaching methods. This feature is very much needed for a teacher/presenter because it is effective in grabbing and retaining the attention of the audience who get lost or become uninterested otherwise.
(2) The presenter is also mostly required to stay close to the projected display wall, but he/she cannot move freely around the room while simultaneously performing real time editing/highlighting of specific PPT content from a distance in a wireless, non contact manner.
[0004] Hence in our invention, we are proposing a custom hardware/software system for educational content delivery using advanced smart features. The invented smart features greatly improvise and advance the modern-day educational content delivery/teaching methods for the audience (students/employees/trainers etc.).
[0005] More specifically, the present subject matter is related to creating a hardware/software system that enables presenters (teachers/trainers/virtual speakers etc.) to edit/free-hand sketch educational PPT content in a live, interactive and real-time manner by non-contact, wireless, free hand gesturing method.
[0006] The primary object of the present invention is to design a hardware/software system that enables real-time, interactive and live editing/free-hand sketching of educational presentation (PPT) content in a wireless and non-contact manner.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to create a system greatly improvises and advances present-day educational content delivery/teaching methods.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to create a system for an efficient and economical teaching mechanism.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to create an appealing and intuitive system for all kind of audiences.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention the smart device is provided with a pre-deposited instruction to mimic the movement of the light movements recorded by the Optical camera and overlays these light movements onto the PPT slide.
[0015] According to an embodiment to the present invention the monitoring device, captures the gestures on the wall records and transmit the said data to the smart device, wherein the pre-installed instruction runs the data at real time wherein the motion of the optical pointer on the PPT projected wall are over laid as sketches on PPT as mimicking the gestures of the optical pointer. As the sketches are overlaid on the PPT, they are displayed on the Projected PPT in real time.
[0016] According to an embodiment to the present invention, the user a through the LED optical pointer for pinpointing specific content in the PPT. The user does a free-hand sketches on the PPT (Examples: circle certain content to highlight, tick or wrong mark certain things, even free-hand write some text etc.), it is recorded processed and displayed in real-time, wherein to perform real time, interactive editing/free-hand sketches or drawing on the displayed PPT content.
[0017] These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings.
