The Ring Presenter and Noise Isolation Headset- pure Genius

            Take complete control of presentations with the Genius Ring Presenter

Genius’ new Ring Presenter, which is a new and sleeker version of their Ring Mouse, is a new way to power through presentations without needing a mouse. The Ring Presenter was designed by Genius to innovate and change the presentation world, and it has. Utilizing cutting edge technology, the Ring Presenter cut the cords and need for a mouse during a presentation. This allows you to focus completely on what you’re presenting while having absolute control on what takes place on screen.

The Ring Presenter is some amazing tech; you literally have a mouse in your hand that seamlessly switches between presentation and mouse functions while also giving you a laser pointer.     Ring Presenter is an all-in-one piece of technology that truly innovates and changes the presentation world.

The Ring Presenter was designed to keep your hands free and to ensure this, the device has a touch-sensitive curser controller that works just like a mouse. The device has beautiful precision and is very easy to control.  On the side of the device you can choose between “mouse mode” and “presentation mode.” I don’t often do presentations, but when I do, I choose the Ring Presenter now. It works fluidly once you learn its very basic and intuitive control system. You can talk while scrolling through web pages, or clicking through a presentation while being completely hands free.  Your finger does all of the work.

The Ring Presenter is simple yet great.  The top of the device features a cursor surrounded by four D-pad style buttons. The touch-sensitive controller can allow you to browse web pages easily while the D-pad style buttons acts like the left and right  buttons of a mouse. When in its different modes, the D-pad buttons have multiple functions.

This took some getting used to as having the mode wrong can make you fumble with the device. If you’re not paying attention and have it in the wrong mode you might right click instead of moving towards the next slide. However, control problems are quickly remedied by Genius’ simple and elegant design.  It took me maybe five minutes to use the device without reading the instructions to get most of its uses down, and I was a pro within ten minutes.

The touch cursor is far more sensitive than your average touchpad and a simple stroke will send the cursor across the screen. It just takes small, easy touches to control the device. It’s fun to use!  Genius’s Ring Presentor also has a cheap and affordable price : $69.99 at (Amazon).

If you search Google for a “power-point remote controller”, the competition are expensive and large devices that do not offer half of the versatility or elegance that the Genius Ring Presenter offers.  Genius includes a travel pouch, Ring Presenter, driver and program CD, and documentation. A regular user of PowerPoint/projectors will find extreme value with the Ring Presenter.

Functions

When in presentation mode, during PowerPoint, clicking the left button will return to the previous page. The top button will “Play” the PowerPoint file and pressing it again will exit the file. Pressing the right button will go to the next power point page. Pressing the center cursor button will act as the mouse left button or cursor control by moving your thumb on the center.

In mouse mode, the left button will switch between cursor and scroll mode. The top button will act as the middle mouse function. The right button will act as the right mouse function.

This does take some getting used to, but soon we were browsing the web and presentations were a breeze. You could sit back and never have to touch a mouse, which is normally essential during profession presentations. Having to constantly click on the buttons or hunch over a computer is now a thing of the past.  I now use the Ring Presenter even when I want to watch Netflix on my PC, or listen to iTunes. When having other things to do, I never have to go back to my desk to use the mouse or keyboard.

The bottom D-pad button also works as the Laser-pointer in all modes and it  reaches up to 10 meters. During presentations, having the ability to have a mouse and a laser pointer literally at your fingertips is innovative and smart, and you will also look good using the Genius Ring Presenter.

The Ring Presenter is available in seven colors: Blue, Gold, Pink, Purple, Green, Black and Silver.

The Ring Presenter design is sleek and the device is very light-weight. Genius shows its promise to be beautiful again with Ring Presenter. We look forward to evaluating more of Genius’ products in the future. They are coming into the American market full-force with their product line. Value, elegance and fun is what I experienced when using the Ring Presenter.  It is a no-brainer for teachers, business workers  and professionals who need to present. The Ring Presenter keeps you from ever touching your PC during a presentation and allows you complete focus.

Pros:

– Small and discreet while offering big functionality and major value

– Plenty of color choices

– Full mouse functionality, with laser pointing capability

– Cuts the cord and lets you be free to present

Cons:

– Might be pricey for those looking for a simple slide changer, but there is major value here
