DisplayClone

Modern technology is becoming more and more visible, even in traditional environments, such as classrooms. As such, we often see blackboards being replaced by smartboards and other sorts of display devices aimed to simplify presentations.

However, their main downfall resides in the lack of interactivity, which can sometimes be achieved with the Windows’ Clone Mode. However, it may not always deliver what you expect, which is why you may want to look at DisplayClone.

After a fairly uneventful setup process, you can launch the program, which immediately retreats to the notification area There, you can access it via the right-click menu, from its icon.

Appearance-wise, DisplayClone is probably less than spectacular, but if what you’re looking for is intuitive functionality, then this utility will not fail you, as it is quite easy to understand and handle, from the first run.

The idea behind this application consists of replicating your screen to that of another device, regardless of resolution or other such technical specifications. You are thus able to show your audience new information during presentations, yet maintain full control over what gets displayed or not.

During slideshows, you may want to stop over a frame and focus your public’s attention to it, as well as grab a screenshot and save it for later, to return to it. You might also be interested in narrating the presentation or hiding the mouse cursor. DisplayClone can do these, with little effort.

Featuring hotkey support, the tool allows you to freeze the screen, switch to clone mode, capture screenshots or move between frames, just by using your keyboard buttons.

In short, DisplayClone is a useful piece of software that you can rely on if you are in the habit of presenting content on a variety of devices, but wish to stick to the familiarity and advantages of doing it on your own computer.
