Probably some of you have already seen Prezi, an web application for

"non-linear" presentations. That doesn't sound too clear, but see

http://www.prezi.com for an example, or http://www.aether.hu/prezi for

an introduction. It basically breaks the traditional slide-show format

of presentations and turns it into a fancy dynamic

flight-simulator-like concept. Very refreshing and ubercool after

years of Powerpoint slides :-)

As far as I know, there is currently no other software doing something

like this. But IMHO, Inkscape would be very much suited for this.

Currently, it has the ideal editing tools to compose the presentation

material itself, but it lacks the animation interface to provide the

navigation and zooming aspect in the presentation itself. With all the

SVG animation plans, Prezi-like presentations would seem to be within

reach.
