Learn More: Features of Brainchild
A list of the most important Brainchild features:
 
  1. 1.zeroconf (aka Apple’s Bonjour) discovers your colleagues autonomously; ad-hoc, without the need for installing or configuring anything.
  2. 2.A novel RMI extension to zeroconf finds remote objects on the subnet without having an RMI registry or several Jini services running.
  3. 3.Peer-to-peer: The lack of any central server allows you to use Brainchild wherever you are. Neither do you need any infrastructure nor access to the internet. Therefore, in the future you can meet in the beer-garden, as well.
  4. 4.Novel point&move controls are optimized for pen-usage and it is not necessary to type any text. Now it makes sense to buy a tablet PC.
  5. 5.Only already presented slides are distributed to the spectators. The presenter still has the control over the presentation flow!
  6. 6.Special awareness features like showing the position of the pens of the others make the real collaboration possible.
  7. 7.Three layers distinguish between the original presentation, the ongoing discussion, and personal notes. And each of the layers can be wiped with one click – somewhat like cleaning the blackboard in school after the lesson.
