NextSlidePlease: navigation and time management for hyperpresentations

ABSTRACT

Slide-ware presentations typically involve an uninterrupted progression of bulleted slides introduced by a lone figure before a passive audience. This format does not encourage active discussion or facilitate improvisational presentation of material. Two studies were conducted to evaluate how presenters author, rehearse for and deliver presentations. From these studies, feature recommendations for a prototype hyperpresentation system were developed.
