Interactive Media Lab (IML) has introduced new streaming technology for the online support of events large and small. IML has developed a web-based interface that allows a remote viewing audience to see live video of a presenter along with supporting PowerPoint content simultaneously. PowerPoint slides and/or video content are seen remotely just as being shown to the live audience.

IML has developed this new tool with the goal of providing a single resource that can accommodate the most efficient and effective online communication of live event messages. We are empowering both presenters and audience members with powerful technology to tear down barriers that previously made streaming events less than ideal. For more information please contact Matthew Stone at 502.585.4004 ext. 310 or email mstone@interactivemedialab.com
