Would it be possible to build a kind of Hyper-Prezi presentation?
I realized that Prezi is not just the ideal tool for presenting knowledge, but also for showing the connections between different presentations. This is especially helpful for doing a series of presentations like in a course at university. Although I could do this in one really large Prezi-presentation, the presentations would be much easier to maintain if I could build a lot of small presentations and combine them to one big hyper-presentation. For this hyper presentation I might also be necessary to define more than one path to follow.

Inappropriate?Dear Llama1983,
it would be possible. I also like the idea. And in the next generation of prezi (we are working on it) it'll be much more easy to do. Imagine a hyperprezi with search function! I'd like it! You have all of your course content in one prezi and you can jump back to the content of previous lession.
So be please be patient. And help us on the specification of the infterface! How do you think subprezi should be added? How to edit multiple path?

Inappropriate?Dear Peter, I'm glad that you also like the idea and a hyperprezi with search function is brilliant. This is how I have thought about adding subprezis: a subprezi could be added like embedinng (not uploading) other media. So I would place a sub-bubble (how do you call the circles in the interface?) to the Media Bubble in the interface. If you click on this bubble then a list opens where you can choose between all your prezis or prezis which have been shared with you or search for one. Maybe you could also tag prezis to group them. This would make it easier to navigate in a huge list of prezis.

Inappropriate?At the moment I'm unsure if you need something else than zooming-in when navigating between such different levels of prezis. Take a look at this http://prezi.com/2289/. All the layers on the left side should refer to one ore more lectures in the end. Currently I've just done a very rough sketch of the "transport layer". If the "transport layer" lecture would be a subprezi and there is just zooming-in then it would look something like it looks now. I wonder if you could have another transation (e.g. fading-into) when you change the prezi-level. In that case I could imagine that the camera zooms into the "transport rectangle" and when it's done smoothly fades into the sub-prezi. This would deal with the problem that I have to reserve enough space for the subprezi although I don't know this space in advance. But like I've said I'm not sure. Maybe zooming in is all you need and I would just replace the "transport rectangle" with the subprezi, when it's done. Perhaps this is more in the spirit of prezi.

Dear Llama1983!
Your ideas are great!
I watched your demo prezi for your computer stuff on a university lecture.
I was wondering: how did you make the blue arrows which let your viewer switch from one "slide" to another - in one view/camera-position.
I like your ideas and those of Adam (wormhole....) - very creative!
Thanks,
Lisi -
Hey lisi. Thanks for your interest in my presentation. Actually I didn't produce those blue arrows with Prezi. I used the tool pdf2swf from SWFTools (http://www.swftools.org/) to convert my presentation and this tool produced those arrows. Then I uploaded the swf file to Prezi. You can fully customize these arrows (or anything else you like) if you know Flash or ActionScript. I hope I could help you with that. -
Hi Llama!
Thanks for that great tip! I tried it and it worked!
Until yesterday I did only convert mp3s into swf to import it into my prezi. But since today I can convert....much more!
Thanks again!

Inappropriate?Editing multiple paths. First of all I think each path should get a title. This title describes what the viewer can expect when following this path (what's the goal of your presentation?). So when your done with editing your first path then you can give it a title. Like I already pointed out here http://getsatisfaction.com/zuilabs/to... there should be some naviagtion especially for paths. This navigation simply could be extended for a list where you can choose between all paths which are available in that prezi. When you are in path-editing-mode then you will edit the currently selected path.
Another thing: When you are dealing with a hyper-prezi then a sub-prezi must be somehow merged into this path and might also contain multiple paths. I would say that a merging of a sub-prezi's path into the path of a super-prezi just connects the last point of the sub-prezi's path with the next point in the super-prezi's path. The multiple path issue could be dealt with in two different ways: the first way could be that as soon as you're diving into a sub-prezi you have to choose the path which you like to follow. The second way could be that the hyper-prezi can define a default path which is taken unless the presenter/audience likes to choose a different one. -
Inappropriate?Should we call these wormholes? And should you be able to cross link them hence creating a 'Mobius' space?
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?I like the idea of a "wormhole". What is a "Mobius" space, but cross-linking is good. I think you would be able to do something like the intro of "Desperate Housewives" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DozfGx...). You would always switch to another prezi when changing the location. I'm not sure if there is already a word for this kind of animation.
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?Wow. Prezi like the intro of Desperate Housewives. Cool metaphor! I like it. Only question e have to answer is how to handle large amount of data. A prezi can be as large as 100Mb. if you click it, we have to download 100Mb data.
But we are working on it.

Inappropriate?I'm very excited about having Hyper-Prezi's, where an image can be a link to a new Prezi file. But as a current work around, can't you just 'Share' the Prezi file with everyone. Then put the website address of the Prezi file into the first file. Then when you click the web address the new file will load a new screen.
???
I’m unsure

Hey yes, that's a good work-around. But you should be aware that this linking of prezis can become quite confusing as you cannot 'see' where you've been coming from. Because when you follow the link the new Prezi will be visually out of the context - in a new browser window. Of course this is all the same with hypertext, but Hyper-Prezis would have the great effect that you could keep visually the context, because of this 'diving experience'. What do you think? -
Llama1983, 'you cannot see.' As in you the audience or you the presenter?
I think the ‘diving experience’ will be a major improvement for the audience. And the bottom line is audience experience. However, my current project focuses on presenter navigation.
I’m currently working on designing a comprehensive presentation (CP) of basic company information. I’m trying to create navigation for the presenter in the design (I’m not focused on the graphic design). The digital file will be available to the whole company with about 12 regular users.
Hyper Prezi’s solve a major problem I was running into: How can one person be the owner of the CP file to update it, while 12 people are continually adding specific detail frames? We would quickly end up having the digital file saved in 12 different places and the owner would never be able to properly update each file. But if each person has their personal Prezi file where they add the details they want for each presentation, and they can link to it from within the CP, then there is still just one saved file of the CP.
Two issues with the work around:
1) When you share with everyone, than the data is no longer private...
2) The hyper links only work if the computer your on has internet. (sometimes when you’re a guest at a company computer you don’t have internet rights...) -
Inappropriate?yes you are right - this is just a temporary workaround

Inappropriate?I am doing a similar thing at my university where we are training college students to present projects they are working on in prezi. Do I need multiple accounts or can I have them under my account? Also can I get prezi on moodle web with functions where it can be moved around so students can explorer each others prezi?
Ideas for the user interface: have a simple visual scroll menu of the projects in your account where you can just click and connect to that project, copy and paste different areas of the presentation into a larger one. Basically, taking parts of presentations to create a larger more comprehensive one. and maybe even a build in open source copyright function where everyone can use different materials from other presentations by just clicking an agreement button?
1 person thinks
this is one of the best points
-
Inappropriate?I would focus this a bit.
1) Each prezi's starting frame (path point 0) is currently used to create a thumbnail for that prezi. The thumbnail is used as it is now - for listings of unopened prezis.
2) Use the same view to also make a full frame screenprint - created either on a 'save and close' or the first time the prezi is inserted as a subprezi using the method below.
3) Add to the media bubble menu - a new item called Media - Prezi. Clicking on it opens a selection window that allows a prezi to be selected from the list of existing pezis and on selection, the full size screenprint is inserted as an image along with the URL or relative path to the sub-prezi - this way a path can go from screen print to screen print viewing the 'preview' of each sub-prezi. A second zoom-in click on a subprezi's image drills into the sub-prezi, in essence loading it in the same viewport without loading a second instance of the viewer.
4) A 'back' icon placed in the top or bottom left now appears and is used used to keep track of and reload the parent (calling) prezi by remembering the URL and path node number of the screenprint, putting the user back in context in the top-level prezi. Also, the designer could circularly link back to the so called 'parent' prezi using the same method - the 'index' or parent prezi as simply one media image and link in the subtopic prezzi that the designer can place as the last view in the path.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I like what Duke said, that if you load a Prezi within a 'Mother'prezi you can press a single button to go back to the 'mother'prezi...
I would love the idea of hyper-prezis as for instance for a company you could have 1 'mother'prezi, with the basic information about the company which is suitable to every body, and depending on who you present for you can click on the 'child'presi of your choice...
but it would be great to have it work with downloaded prezi's to make sure that it all goes quickly... and to bypass the browser inconveniences, such as no shortkeys etc.
I’m starting to love this presentation method
-
Inappropriate?Help, I'm a beginner
I've seen a Prezi with a link. How can I put it? -
add a text starting with http://
for example: http://www.alex.com
(www alone won't work)
you need to save and reload before the links start to work
