Android-Geräte spiegeln mit Vysor. Im medienpädagogischen Bereich gibt es viele Gründe, den Bildschirm eines Smartphones oder Tablets auf einer Leinwand zeigen zu wollen, sei es für Tutorials oder Smartphone-Events.

Android-Geräte spiegeln mit Vysor

Meiner Meinung nach haben die Apple Geräte hier eindeutig die Nase vorne, funktionieren doch alle Geräte mit dem einheitlichen Lightning-HDMI / VGA Adapter. Dieser einheitliche Standard fehlt leider bei Android, kein Wunder, stecken hinter den Geräten ja zahlreiche Hersteller. Diese Tatsache bringt mir aber beispielsweise bei einer Smartphone-Schule für Senioren wenig, wenn 95% der Anwesenden Android-Geräte haben. Mit schnurlosen Lösungen wie Miracast oder Chromecast habe weniger gute Erfahrungen gemacht, bricht doch hier recht oft die Verbindung ab. Seit kurzem benutze ich nun die kostenlose App Vysor, um mein Android Smartphone zu spiegeln. A Wonderful Tool to Help Students Easily Design Their Own Games.
