Seminara is not a passive video; it's an interactive conversation. When you enter the live room, you are presented with a clean, focused environment designed to maximize learning and engagement.
The Room Layout
- The Main Stage (Slides): The center of the screen displays the host's visual presentation. Aura advances these slides automatically as she speaks.
- The Chat Interface: On the side of the screen, there is a real-time transcript of the conversation and a text input box.
- The Control Bar: At the bottom, you'll find your primary interaction controls.
How to Interact
There are three primary ways to interact with Aura during a session:
1. Voice Interaction
You can speak to Aura just like a human presenter.
- Natural Barge-in: If your microphone is unmuted, you can simply start speaking. Aura's Voice Activity Detection (VAD) will hear you, immediately pause her narration, listen to your question, and answer you before resuming the presentation.
- The "Raise Hand" Button: If you prefer not to interrupt abruptly, click the Raise Hand button in the control bar. Aura will notice this, finish her current thought, and politely ask you to go ahead with your question.
2. Text Q&A
If you cannot use your microphone or prefer typing, you can use the Chat Interface. Type your question into the chat box and hit send. Aura reads this chat in real-time. She will verbally acknowledge your question (e.g., "I see a question in the chat...") and answer it aloud for everyone.
3. Interactive Polls
During the presentation, the host may trigger interactive Poll Cards. These will pop up over the presentation. You can click an option to submit your vote, and Aura will react to the live results.
Presentation Controls
You have full agency over the session pacing. Using either voice commands or the Chat Interface, you can tell Aura to:
- Skip: "Aura, skip to the next section."
- Pause/Resume: "Give me a minute to read this." / "Okay, I'm ready, continue."
- Replay: "Can you repeat that last point?"
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What if I accidentally cough or make a noise?
A: Our Intent Engine filters out background noise and non-verbal sounds. If you cough, Aura will ignore it and continue presenting.
