Swiping again will cause the slide to fade back in. This can be useful if you want to have a discussion in the middle of a presentation and don't want people to be distracted by what's on the screen. Vertical Swipe - a vertical swipe on the main interface screen causes the currently displayed slide to fade out, leaving a bank display. The watch also gets put into a screen-always-on mode so that it doesn't go to sleep and remove the card. The time is shown using AutoWear's built-in command, so it isn't just a static display it's an actual clock that you can use to keep your presentation on track. At the same time, it pushes a simple interface card to the watch that shows the current time, the number of the slide being displayed, and the number of slides remaining in the presentation. Once I say the command phrase, the phone turns on, gets forced into landscape mode, and displays the first slide in my presentation. (Kind of geeky, I admit, but I'm usually talking to technologists who don't mind that type of thing.) Then I shake my wrist to bring up AutoWear's voice control screen on the watch and say "Start Slideshow". To start, I hook up my phone to the projector. The project, which I call "Slide Wear", is pretty simple and straight-forward, but has all the functions I need to give a normal presentation. My phone, my watch, and the cable are all I need. The port on my Galaxy S4 can put out HDMI video using a special cable that I picked up awhile back and all the presentation rooms are equipped with HDMI-capable projectors, meaning that I don't need to haul a laptop (or even a tablet) around. I decided it would be neat to be able to give those presentations directly from my phone and control them with my watch, so that became my first AutoWear project. I work in educational technology at a university and am occasionally asked to give presentations to other members of the technology community about what's happening in my area. I've tried to think of some way to tie the watch into my Digital Dash project, but nothing really seemed appropriate. I had bought the AutoWear Tasker plugin even before I had the watch and knew that it could do some pretty cool things, but I had trouble coming up with any kind of practical use that I could develop. I do like having lots of information pushed to my wrist, but I really wanted to see what I could do with it that wasn't a just an off-the-shelf function. I'd been wanting to experiment with wearables, and it seemed like the best choice.
A few weeks ago, I picked up an Asus Zenwatch 2.
