Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for enhancing presenter and participant interaction in a presentation. A system configured to practice the method can receive, from a viewer of an electronic presentation, a submission of a question and a selection of a communication mode for the question. The system can identify a portion of the presentation to which the question is directed, and update the portion of the electronic presentation to incorporate the question based on the communication mode. The electronic presentation can be a slide show, such as a PowerPoint™ presentation. The system can optionally notify a presenter in the electronic presentation that the portion has been updated.

Abstract: The system and method capture an image of a presenter of a presentation. The image of the presenter may be a still image or a video stream. In one embodiment, the image of the presenter has the background removed. An image of the presentation is captured. The image of the presentation may be a still image or a video stream. A transition, such as a gesture or movement of the presenter is detected. In response to the detection of the transition, an image of the presenter is superimposed on the image of the presentation to create a combined image. Alternatively, in response to the transition, the image of the presenter is removed from the presentation. The combined image or the image of the presentation with the image of the presenter removed is then sent to participants viewing the presentation.
