A system for wireless presentation is provided, including a server, and a plurality of user terminals connected to the server, wherein each user terminal includes a user display and at least one first processing apparatus associated to a display unit and configured to establish a connection to the server. The server can be adapted to preconfigure a plurality of virtual rooms, each virtual room being selectable by at least one user terminal. The server can further be configured to simultaneously manage a plurality of temporary sessions, each temporary session corresponding to one of the plurality of virtual rooms. The system can be configured, when a first user terminal selects a virtual room, to create a temporary session corresponding to the selected virtual room and to allow said first user terminal to access the temporary session. Each temporary session can be accessible by at least another user terminal. The at least one first processing apparatus can be associated to a predetermined virtual room and can be configured to access a temporary session corresponding to the predetermined virtual room. In each temporary session, at least one user terminal which has accessed the temporary session is a presenter user terminal which is configured to transmit an image signal to all the other user terminals which have accessed the same temporary session and to the first processing apparatus which has accessed the same temporary session. All the user terminals other than the presenter user terminal which have accessed the same temporary session as the presenter user terminal can be configured to display, via the respective user displays, first image content on the basis of the image signal. Furthermore, the at least one first processing apparatus can be configured to cause the display unit to display second image content on the basis of the image signal.
