Established in 2009 by co-founders, Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai, Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that allows one to present their ideas on a virtual canvas. It contains a “zooming user interface,” which enables one to zoom in and out of their presentation media, and display and navigate through their information with a 2.5D or 3D space on the Z-axis. It was created with the support of Kitchen Budapest and Magyar Telekom in 2009 to replace the typical slide-based presentation. Since Prezi is an online tool, one is able to use it wherever there is internet connection. Also, it gives users the ability to work offline and set security levels around who can view your presentations.
Prezi is a storytelling tool that can be used in business and entertainment. Prezi allows businesses to have more effective meetings and more engaging presentations, unlike the everyday static slide. Its zooming canvas allows businesses to view their “big picture” goals, and zoom in to show all the important details. This is positive for businesses because it enables them to see where they came from and where they are going. There is nothing negative about this, in my opinion. No matter what business you are in, Prezi allows you to collaborate with your team, other teams, and customers. This is positive because it keeps employers connected to employees, businesses connected to businesses, and businesses connected to customers. A business can collaborate across time zones and with up to ten colleagues! This is positive because businesses are able to communicate and connect with their target audience, share future ideas and receive feedback. Businesses are able to stand out from their competition and engage their audience in their presentations much better through the use of Prezi. More customers are likely to be attracted to the businesses using the highly engaging and dynamic way of Prezi, rather than the businesses using boring, one-way presentations. This is positive because it attracts more customers for businesses and takes away from competition. There is nothing negative about this. A business can display videos using Prezi, and monitor their client’s reactions. This is positive because it lets the business know what they may need to work on or if the product is good. Entertainment businesses can share ideas for shows, games, etc using Prezi. Entertainment businesses can use Prezi the same way as regular businesses do.
Prezi can also be used socially, and can possibly be used recreationally. Prezi is an effective and easy tool to use for collaborations. Users are able to share their ideas with their friends, class mates, colleagues, clients, and anyone all over the world. This is positive because it enables people to connect and communicate with people they may otherwise never get the chance to meet. Also, they can connect and communicate with people locally in a more effective and easy way. Prezi allows users to “share the spotlight,” which means in a team, one can hand over the lead to anyone, anywhere. On the positive side, those in a group can take turns with being the lead. On the negative side, one can completely take over the project. Prezi enables its users to edit each other’s ideas instantly, in the same Prezi. On the positive side, this could help enhance someone’s ideas and make them better. On the negative side, ideas can be stolen, or changed for the worse. Prezi can be used on an iPhone or iPad, so one can stay connected anywhere on the go. A recreational use of Prezi includes one’s ability to share videos. If a person is bored, that could potentially entertain them. On the positive side, it entertains an individual. On the negative side, a user may begin to rely on the Internet to have fun. Prezi does not have any use in news.
Prezi is a presentation tool that can be used to make a professional style presentation in a dynamic and engaging way. Prezi can be used in a variety of different areas, such as business, social life, recreation, and entertainment. Prezi has an overwhelming amount of positive uses over the slim to none negative uses. It is a much better presentation tool than the boring Microsoft PowerPoint many people use today.
