ITS has installed wireless projection capabilities in most spaces around campus. This can be handy to reduce the amount of time needed to set up for a class, allow instructors to walk around the classroom while presenting, and permit students to project from their own laptops and mobile devices. Presenting wirelessly via your own device also provides a relatively contact-free way of presenting.
The two legacy systems in use - Apple TV and Mersive's Solstice Pod - are currently in the process of being replaced by Screenbeam.
