Developing a Real-Time Web Questionnaire System for Interactive Presentations

Conducting presentations with bi-directional communication requires extended presentation systems, e.g., having sophisticated expressions and gathering real-time feedback. We aim to develop an interactive presentation system to enhance presentations with bi-directional communication during presentations. We developed a hybrid interactive presentation system that is a collaboration between the traditional presentation supporting system, e.g. PowerPoint, and a web application. To gather feedback from audiences at presentations, the web application delivers presentation slides to audiences. The client system provides a feature of creating annotations and answering the questions on delivered presentation slides for making feedback. Specifically, the system provides a real-time questionnaire function where the result is displayed on a shared screen in real time while gathering answers. Since users can make their questionnaire on PowerPoint, the task becomes quite easy. This paper explains the development of the system and demonstrates that the real-time questionnaire system realizes high performance scalability.
