feat: support laser pointer

Open leonus96 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Description

Presentation programs often provide a laser pointer feature, where the operating system cursor disappears and a simulation of laser light is displayed on the slide instead.

This issue tracks the request to add laser pointer support in flutter_deck offering me to work on this issue.

Additional Context

Laser pointer in Microsoft PowerPoint:

Laser pointer in Google Slides:

google-slides--use-slideshow-tools--01

For my personal use I quickly implemented something functional, it looks like this:

Hey, I have a similar idea on my to-do list - supporting marker. Meaning, you could even draw on top of your slide (pretty neat in some cases). I think the laser pointer could be just another option for that. It's not a priority, but let's keep the issue open so I will remember to cover this as well.

Drawing on the slides is another very good functionality 🤞🏻. If this topic is not yet a priority; Is there a topic I can work on? I am very interested in contributing to this project.

If you have already implemented this, you can create a PR for the laser pointer and we can discuss the details there.
