Integrated information presentation system with environmental controls

An integrated information presentation system includes environmental controls that at least enhances the experience of giving a presentation. During the presentation, multiple controls are available which enable the presenter to have direct control of the presentation environment. The system makes it easier to give presentations using computer-aided text, images, and sounds, yet it is far from just a tool to be used during these events themselves. Using this system, it is possible for presenters to practice a presentation before actually giving it, to transmit and/or receive a presentation, either pre-recorded or live to/from a remote location(s), to record a presentation for later distribution, to view a pre-recorded or live presentation from a remote location(s), or to upload a video or audio message to a website. This system includes an exemplary integrated information presentation device "Power Podium") and an Integrated Presentation Environment Assembly a "Presentation Booth").
