Zoomable Presentations

Prezi is a presentation tool similar to Keynote, but instead of using a list of slides, the whole presentation is mapped out on a huge flat surface. The screen zooms in (or out) to the individual «slides» during the presentation and can even twist and turn. This is somewhat similar to Oberon’s way of doing presentations, but much more advanced.

If you liked this, you'll love my book. It's called Designed for Use: Create Usable Interfaces for Applications and the Web. In it, I cover the whole design process, from user research and sketching to usability tests and A/B testing.

You can find out more about it (and order it directly, printed or as a DRM-free ebook) on the Pragmatic Programmers website.
