Visualisers
Improving Your Presentation
A number of studies have shown that presentations made with a Visualizer dramatically increase learning success, as information which is presented visually is much easier to remember, and is retained for far longer than information presented using the spoken word alone.
Furthermore, objects presented live with a Visualizer capture the attention far more readily than the simple display of scanned objects (eg. via PowerPoint), because of the 'live' factor. The fact that the audience sees the presenter's hands, annotations, zooming action, twisting around of objects and other movement in the picture, personalises the delivery, and everybody present feels like they are an integrated part of the presentation. Imagine the difference between just looking at a photograph, or being able to watch a movie.
