Remote Control is based on WebSockets, so you may have a good and modern browser, like Firefox, Chrome or Opera.

The phone send a message through WebSockets to the server. The server receive the message as an action that must be executed, like 'next' or 'previous'. This action are emited to the HTML5 presentation.

• nodejs
• socket.io
• A modern Web Browser with WebSockets support in your desktop can i use websockets?
• A modern Web Browser with WebSockets support in your phone can i use websockets?

For while, you need to install manually :(

First, if you don't have node, you must to install. Google it, if you don't know how. Install socket.io:

npm install socket.io

Run app.js:

node app.js

The server will be available at port 81 http:localhost:81, but you can change if you want.

Now, you need to add 2 JavaScript libraries to your HTML5 presentation:

<script src="http://localhost:81/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/remote-control.js"></script>

You're almost ready to start the presentation! Add this code to your presentation file:

var remote = new RemoteControl();
remote.connect('http://localhost:81');
remote.on('next', function() {
	// Your method to move to the next slide
});

remote.on('previous', function() {
	// Your method to move to the previous slide
});

Now point your phone browser to your IP address on port 81. You must see a ugly(i'm working on that) page with 3 buttons. If everything is ok, now you are able to control your HTML5 presentation with your phone.
