Drive Projector

When running a big event, it's often useful to have a bunch of projectors displaying a cycling sequence of messages. This tool lets event organizers centralize their messages into a Google Drive spreadsheet and instantly update the slides being shown on every display. Setting up a display is as simple as pointing Chrome to a url and going into full-screen mode.
