Mouse Pointer Double - Add Virtual Mouse with Chromecast

Mouse Pointer Double is a Chrome extension designed to produce a fake mouse pointer on the active web page that replicates the movement of your actual mouse pointer. Primarily designed for Chromecast users, it lets them visibly detect mouse movements on projected pages. Users can activate this feature via an icon or keyboard shortcut (default set as Alt+Shift+M), with the option to edit it. The extension's idea was conceived from Frank Katzenberger's post, and its source code is publicly accessible.
