1. 2 December 2005 From PaperPoint to MindXpres Towards Enhanced Presentation Tools Prof. Beat Signer http://www.beatsigner.com Web & Information Systems Engineering Lab Department of Computer Science Vrije Universiteit Brussel WEB & INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
2. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 2 October 9, 2016 What is Wrong with Slideware? ▪ Simulation of physical slides ▪ limited space due to the slide concept ▪ linear navigation from slide to slide ▪ difficult to reuse content and embed rich media types ▪ MindXpres addresses these issues ▪ unlimited canvas with zoomable user interface ▪ non-linear navigation and associative linking ▪ content-based approach with automatic visualisation
3. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 3 October 9, 2016 PaperPoint Presentation Tool ▪ Mobile PowerPoint presentation Tool ▪ interactive PowerPoint paper handouts ▪ Support for non-linear presentations ▪ refer back to previous slides ▪ dynamically integrate slides ▪ skip slides B. Signer and M.C. Norrie, PaperPoint: A Paper- based Presentation and Interactive Paper Proto- typing Tool, Proceedings of TEI 2007, Baton Rouge, USA, February 2007 Global Information Systems Group, ETH Zurich
4. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 4 October 9, 2016 PaperPoint Features ▪ Enhanced mobility during presentations ▪ Improved presentation overview for the presenter ▪ see content of current and nearby slides (orientation) ▪ Support for non-linear presentations ▪ refer back to previous slides ▪ dynamically integrate optional (backup) slides at runtime ▪ skip slides (e.g. if running out of time) ▪ Annotation of static slide content ▪ highlighting of content ▪ dynamic creation of new content at presentation time E.I. Reuss, B. Signer and M.C. Norrie, PowerPoint Multimedia Presentations in Computer Science Education: What do Users Need?, Proceedings of USAB 2008, Graz, Austria, November 2008
5. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 5 October 9, 2016 PaperPoint Features ... ▪ Annotation of static slide content … ▪ brings back functionality of blackboard or overhead projector ▪ potential recording and playback of annotations and presentations ▪ handwritten notes that are not visible to the audience - reminders about specific things to be mentioned - slides to be shown in non-linear order - comments and questions from the audience ▪ Improved control of embedded media (e.g. video) ▪ Digital whiteboard ▪ Multi-pen support ▪ collaborative presentations ▪ brainstorming

11. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 11 October 9, 2016 MindXpres Presentation Tool ▪ Extensible prototyping platform for novel presen- tation concepts ▪ content-based approach - separation of content and pre- sentation (automatic visualisation) ▪ cross-media content reuse ▪ non-linear navigation via zoomable user interface ▪ connectivity and interactivity R. Roels and B. Signer, MindXpres: An Extensible Content-driven Cross-Media Presentation Platform, Proceedings of WISE 2014, Thessaloniki, Greece, October, 2014
12. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 12 October 9, 2016 MindXpres Platform ▪ MindXpres presentations are currently represented in the XML-based MindXpres document format ▪ Compiler (node.js application) translates XML to HTML ▪ Presentation engine based on HTML5 and related APIs ▪ e.g. WebSockets for connectivity
