The Georgia Tech Conference Center has a fancy new technology in all its
lecture theatres, called a docu-cam. It works like an overhead projector,
but on ordinary paper, not overhead transparencies. It can be used to
project hands, keys, books, you name it, onto the screen, in color, or black
and white. So there is no need to prepare overhead transparencies for this
conference. Apparently the technology does not work that well with
transparencies, so it will be better to bring your talk printed on ordinary
paper (you can still use color of course). If you do bring transparencies,
and they do not work well on the docu-cam, we shall try to accommodate you
with an overhead projector.
You can also write on a sheet of paper with an ordinary pen, and it will
project onto the screen.
Each lecture theater is equipped with:
- One docu-cam
- One windows based PC system, which allows you to use Powerpoint, Maple,
or other Windows based systems, from a CD for example.
- The connections to use laptops for Powerpoint, Maple, etc.
- Two standard Whiteboards, with a good supply of erasable felt tip pens.
We shall try to add one overhead projector per room, but we cannot
definitely promise this at this stage.
For those who want to have two different images in front of the audience at
once (for example, something with notation, and one with what you are
discussing), it may be best to write up notation on the whiteboard, and use
the docu-cam for your main set of images.
