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 peoples own business presentations.
Why chance increasing the audiences ‘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.
