Is Prezi the future of presentations?


Prezi is a new presentation tool described as zooming sketches on a digital napkin.

It's visualization and storytelling without slides. It allows you to think and present in more than one dimension. You don't think in a linear motion, so why present that way? Ideas do not always fit neatly into traditional slides, Prezi allows you to free them and in a living multi-media presenation tool.

I can really see the potential in this -- especially when it comes to presenting raw ideas and concepts. Now you can reveal parts of a concept in a way that makes sense to aid in the getting the notion across. No more "ta da" here's the whole idea then working backward to explain. Plus you can take time to zoom in and focus on specific points... so much potential.

Really looking forward to giving this a try.

Go to Prezi.com to watch the into movie to learn more.

Here's a few good examples of Prezi in action:

Prezi is great when it comes to text based concepts but being a designer myself and working with visual concepts I need to present and work with rich media content. For that I find www.ahead.com so much better for creative people. I'm a raving fan of Ahead and think it's a shame that Prezi takes all the attention in the blogosphere.
