NextSlidePlease: agile hyperpresentations

ABSTRACT

In this video presentation, we introduce NextSlidePlease, a novel slide authoring and presentation application. The video begins with a dramatization illustrating the shortcomings of existing slide-ware tools identified through our prior research. We then describe our theoretical framework for addressing these identified problems and present a dramatization of the process by which our NextSlidePlease application can be used to overcome such issues in a business context. In addition, we illustrate the novel functional aspects of our application algorithm that enable effective time management and flexible presentations. Finally, we present promising results from two user studies.
