It works! This #onlineteaching trick combines visual contact with the audience and the genuine blackboard feeling.
(No, I did not practice mirror writing, and yes, this is the actual audience screen.)
A short manual 👇. 1/n
This is the setup: I am writing on an acrylic glass sheet in between the webcam and a neutral white background. Problem is that everything is mirrored. Although you can select 'mirror image' in e.g. #Zoom, it does this only for the presenter, not for the audience. 2/n
But... with the camera software (#LogiCapture) you can steer and adjust the camera, including horizontally flipping the image, before you send it to #Zoom. In Zoom, you don't select the webcam itself, but the output of the #LogiCapture software. 3/n
Of course it can still be improved (more rigid setup, extending the writing area while maintaining the readability...), but I am going to live test it soon. Might work well for quick feedback sessions or short explanations to break "narrated powerpoints". 4/n
