Beginning January 5, 2012 owners of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices can download a free app which will enable them to connect to 30 different Epson projector models via a wireless LAN.
So now mobile presenters who own these Apple devices and one of the iProjection compatible Epson projectors can leave the laptop behind. Epson iProjection will support Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files, as well as .pdf documents. JPEG and PNG image file formats will be supported as well.
Finally, the app will give the user the ability to switch video sources and handle some projector operations (such as volume control) right from their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch units.
Recent research from Pacific Media Associates finds that road warriors continue to embrace the ability to “lighten their loads” as far as technology they travel with, and that wireless abilities are also becoming a must-have feature for projector users. Apple-savvy presenters should embrace this new development from Epson.
