Controller for Google Presentations

I really like the convenience of Google Presentations and other online presentation tools. One problem, however, that I've run into is that they are hard to control with traditional presentation remotes, especially if you have videos in them. There is a great app called deMobo that lets you control presentations from several online services including Google Slides, Prezi, SlideShare, Scribd and a few others. The only drawback is that you are basically looking at images of your slides, so animations aren't there and you can't click links either, but you can put screen captures of pages in your show. It does let you look at notes on your phone or tablet as you present your slides and even has a timer and the ability to tap into your web cam to use it as a document camera or to do a picture in picture with your slideshow.

Once you install the app and connect it to your service, go to demobo.com/slides and enter the code found in the settings on your controlling device. The app and your browser will sync and you will be able to control the slideshow from your device.
