Perspector 3D-enabled PowerPoint Predicts the Past
More and more presenters are realizing that bullet point filled PowerPoint slides have a negative effect on their audiences. They are therefore looking for ways to liven up their visuals and to support their messages with interesting and meaningful images. The Perspector 3D add-in will help boring PowerPoint presentations to become a thing of the past.
(PRWEB) December 29, 2004 -- At this time of year, when most people are
trying to predict the future, the team that developed the Perspector 3D add-in
for PowerPoint are predicting that boring PowerPoint presentations will become a
thing of the past.
Adrian Doyle, CEO of software house Visual Exemplars
said: “More and more presenters are realizing that bullet point filled
PowerPoint slides actually have a negative effect on their audiences. They are
therefore looking for ways both to liven up their visuals and to support their
messages with interesting and meaningful images. This is where Perspector really
helps.”
He explained that most situations are multi-dimensional — why
else would presenters want to talk about them? A succinct image illustrating the
relationships between elements under discussion can help audiences grasp the
point more quickly. However, because of its two-dimensional nature, creating
diagrams with convincing depth is difficult using PowerPoint as it comes out of
the box. The Perspector add-in enables presenters to work quickly and easily
with depth as well as width and height to show how different elements relate to
each other.
At just $69 for the standard edition, and $199 for the
professional edition, users are discovering for themselves the new illustrative
possibilities opened up by Perspector. However, because busy people need quick
ways to get started, the Perspector website offers a wide selection of sample
slides ready to download, be adapted easily, and then incorporated into people’s
own business presentations.
“Why chance increasing the audience’s ‘glazed
eye factor’ with a simple list, for example, when you can hold their attention
by putting the same list on a revolving drum?” explained Adrian Doyle. “Or
perhaps you want to tell people about ‘the next steps’? We have that too, along
with many other adapted classic slides. These slides are as simple to adapt as
adding your own text.”
Perspector can be seen in action and a free trial
version downloaded from the website http://www.perspector.com. To make getting started even
easier, the download comes with user tutorial presentations.
