This one is unfortunately more of a marketing stunt than being of real value. The way to use this is:
1. You must have the document, spreadsheet, powerpoint etc. on a USB stick
2. You insert the USB stick into the provided slot on your seat
3. Now comes the tough part, to use the hand-held controller as a full keyboard and mouse. That's a huge pain, since the keys are very tough to press, and the mouse very tough to navigate.
4. Assuming you get familiar with using the KB/Mouse (I did not, despite trying quite a bit), you can open up the documents on your USB stick, and view or edit them.
The main reason I feel it's not of value is the problems using the Keyboard/Mouse on the handheld controller. |
