If you’re sick of endlessly replacing slides beneath a projector during educational or professional lectures and presentations, then perhaps you should take a moment to cast your gaze upon Prezi, a new technology platform designed to radically change the way audio-visual presentations are delivered.

Not just limited to conventional presentations, Prezi arrives as a new zooming visualisation tool looking to reinvent how ideas are communicated to people in general, whether they be in the classroom, surfing the Net, travelling within an elevator or interfacing with a touch-screen handset.
Prezi is an ambitious visualisation and storytelling platform enabling the creation and delivery of animated on-screen content paths for convey meaning, instruction and information through lively transitions and zoom-capable images that actively work to hold the attention of those experiencing the presentation.
“It’s been said that the best innovations come from people who are unhappy with the tools they use,” outlines the Prezi team on its official site. “We realized that our ideas won’t fit into slides anymore. Putting together creative thinking and technology expertise, we have created Prezi, a living presentation tool.”
Prezi was thrust into the media spotlight during this week’s TED Global Conference in Oxford, England, where it was hailed as “a long-awaited refreshing change” by TED Global’s Audio/Video team.
The burgeoning technology has recently received notable investment support from TED Global owner The Sapling Foundation and Nordic-based venture capital outfit Sunstone. The platform is also supported by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who contributes to the development of Prezi in an advisory capacity.
