Laser Pointer

Laser Pointer - A smart remote for PowerPoint presentations

A laser pointer is also known as a laser pen and it is used to point out important details such as an image or a graph in connection with school teaching or PowerPoint presentations.

The special feature of a laser pointer is that it emits a very focused type of light, as the beams from it are parallel to each other compared to a regular bulb in a lamp that simply distributes all its light.

The good thing about a laser pointer is that it gives you great flexibility, so you don't have to sit behind your computer to scroll back and forth in your slides and can move freely around the room, allowing you to make your presentations more lively and engaging for your audience.

#3 - Range in laser pointers

There are many differences in range in the various laser pointers, as it ultimately depends on where you want to use your upcoming laser pointer.

If the school you work at as a teacher has relatively many small rooms and doesn't require large arm movements for you to work with in your teaching, you can settle for buying a laser pointer with a range of about 10 meters.

On the other hand, if there is a large room with a larger indoor area that really requires a good range from a laser pointer to help you make your work easier, then a laser pointer with a range of about 50 meters could be a good solution.

• 10 meters
• 15 meters

• 50 meters

Rules for using a laser pointer

A laser pointer may initially seem like a harmless thing, but there is a specific law regarding the use of laser pointers, as you need to think about how you shine with your new laser pointer.

The first rule in the law is that you must not point the light at the eyes of other people, as it can cause serious eye injuries if someone gets the light directly in their eyes.

You also must not use a laser pointer to point at vehicles, planes, or anything similar, as this can contribute to accidents.

But as long as you stick to shining on your PowerPoint presentation with your laser pointer, there are no problems with it.
