Wireless Projection of iPad2 - iPad2s

[Ed Patterson]

Does anyone currently use or plan to use a solution to display the iPad2 via wireless connection?

Another school mentioned to a faculty member here the idea of using AppleTV to send the teachers iPad2 display to the projector wirelessly via AppleTV.  Has anyone done this in a enterprise environment?  Did adding AppleTV to your wireless work?   

 

Have you tried the AppleTV to display any iPad in the classroom - I know it is possible. 

Have you  found another wireless solution, to send the iPad's display to projector/flat screen display for classroom teaching?  It is possible to select from a list of iPads to decide which one is going to be projected.

 

If you have any feedback at all it is appreciated.

We are about to install Reflection and Splash Top on our Ipads. Have you explored this option? I'd like to hear more about the Apple TV solution though before installing Reflection....

Hi,

No we haven't considered using Reflection because our desktop computers are on a separate network from our wireless and for security reasons are not considering giving iPads access to our main network.  I haven't looked at Splashtop, what do you think of it?

 

The AppleTV does have a cost of @ $100/each  but it can be added to a wireless network and provide mirroring of the iPad (any iPad in range - with the option of requiring a password to connect) as well as access to mirror any Mac laptop running mountain lion.   It appears to be easy to switch between any iPad in range and you can stream various other either directly from the AppleTV with a remote or via streaming audio or video files from iPad, iPod or computer.

So a bit late to the original discussion, but am wondering if anyone has explored the "Wipad", http://www.gowipad.com, as a solution for projection purposes?  If so, comments/critiques would be appreciated.
