Prezi is out of beta

Posted: March 31st, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Prezi is a new kind of presentation software I used a couple of times (most notably in my intro speech at Lift09). It is a nice change of pace from flat and boring powerpoints, finally an innovation in the presentation space!

Imagine an infinite white sheet on which you can position objects, texts, videos, pictures. After you dispose all information you create a “path” that the camera will follow, going from one frame to the other, taking the audience on a journey that even the best slide transitions can’t replicate.

Prezi is now out of beta, and you should really give it a go. Only problem: it does not work with a remote and you have to present with your laptop in sight. This can be a big problem (again, see my Lift09 intro speech).

    Hej Laurent,

    we use prezi with remotes all the time. It can be controlled with pageUp pageDown wich most remotes support out of the box

    I usually only step up to my laptop if I need to show a detail :)
