I'm a happy owner of DMXIS and ShowBuddyActive. Recently, I wanted to control my light rig while presenting slides with PowerPoint.
I wrote a tool which I released for free in Open Source:
https://github.com/ojacques/PowerPointToOSC
You use it by adding OSC commands in your slides speaker notes, like:
Code: Select all
OSC: /dmxis/preset/1
OSC: /test1 i 123.45
OSC: /test2 f 123.45
OSC: /test3 s teststring
OSC: /test4 b true
This way, you get to control lights, sounds, every time you go to a new PowerPoint slide, or when you click through animations.
Wow effect guaranteed
Hoping some of you will find it useful. Feedback appreciated.
