Presentation casting is also a potential game changer for Chromecast. I work in an academic environment and we are forever struggling with accommodating presentation interfaces - HDMI/DVI/VGA/Thuderbolt/etc ad nauseum.
The thought that a presenter could discover a Chromecast receiver and make a presentation directly to a connected projector via a Chrome browser tab could save us many kilo$ in hardware and support.
This might be even more powerful if the reciever can be implimented in software: https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast
- VikingCoder 13y agoI know, right? I was once in a meeting with approximately 300 people, watching the CEO try to get a presentation working for - I kid you not - 90 minutes.
