Is anyone thinking beyond slides? We need to demand more from our presentational tools. I'd like to have these features:
Interactive slide elements like simulations, parametrized graphs, shells for SSH and interpreted languages.
Mobile interface served for audience so they can participate in quizzes, voting and interactive experiments.
Branching flows of presentation, so you can dive into more details on one branch, or skim through it on other branch (without running through slides franticly).
Free style presentation where some presenter zooms in and out of tree representation of our knowledge of the presentation subject.
Support for separate presenter's user interface - presenter should be able to easily cue the laughing track, or theatrically raise music volume, or see audience feedback.
Both Prezi and reveal.js and some other tools I've seen, add too much design fluff and fail to deliver any fresh approach. PowerPoint is stagnating for a looong while. Which is really the shame, because we could engage our audience so much better with right tools.
