Presentation Support System Providing the Function of Promoting Comment Collection in Limited Time

In recent years, the use of presentations as an efficient method for communication has been proven to play a significant role in professional research activities, especially from the standpoint of education and business in enterprises. In these scenarios, this method is intended to clearly convey information from the presenter to the audience in a limited time, and to garner active feedback from the audience by means of human interaction. However, for the majority of presentations, it is difficult to stimulate the audiences to comment and discuss the topic, as well as to receive sufficient comments in a limited time. For these reasons, we have attempted to devise a system that provides a function for collecting the maximum possible comments in a time-limited presentation. By increasing the possibilities offered to presenters for handling such situations, and to remind both the presenters and audiences of the pace of the presentation, we conducted an experiment to prove that the approach used in our system is effective.
