Anybody knows what kind of presenter-tool that has a moving flashlight cursor?

Tags: Question

At Lotusphere 2009 I saw one presentation where the presenter entered some kind of mode (probably some hotkey to turn on and off), where his cursor became a torch- or flashlight with a spotlight area. This flashlight was super to focus on the client what he was doing, since all other areas but the spot, was blurred. Anybody knows what tool this was?

1 - You must have been at our BP105 session where Matt White used Mousepose { Link }

Thanks for coming to our session. Hope you enjoyed it.

2 - Another alternative is "Impressive", previously known as "KeyJNote" which you can use to present a pdf - and it does have a spotlight feature and works cross platform.

I've used it in the past and it's good enough.

3 - John and Bruce, thanks for your feedback! Mousepose sure looks nice. Unfortunately only on the Mac ... I also learned that Windows has a built-in feature, which does something faintly similar. Change "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key" in the Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options. Not at ALL the same as Mousepose, but something on the way!
