With the increasing popularity of multimedia presentations at business
meetings and conferences, presenters often wish to be free to move about
during their presentation. Moderators at a presentation or conference can
use this invention to communicate with the presenters. Podium lights,
buzzers, or other obtrusive signals are becoming less and less effective
means of signaling during presentations. For this reason, the present
invention employs remote controlled tactile notification rather than
sight or sound. The moderator might inform the presenter that the
allotted time has expired or numerous other messages may be signaled. A
predetermined message or code is sent to the presenter by stimulating the
presenter's sense of touch.
