For those of you who are interested in experimenting in the Business PowerPoint world – this is very cool. A new ‘add-in’ from the little known folks at the Microsoft Office labs (who actually do really good stuff but don’t shout about it).

‘pptPlex’ is a research prototype as an exploration of an alternative method of presenting Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 slides. This plug-in allows you to arrange slides on a canvas then zoom between the slides during the presentation. You can move around the canvas and show groups of slides, individual slides, or even zoom in to show a particular section of a slide.

It was originally demonstrated by Bill Gates at the MS CEO Summit 2008.

The best way to see what it is all about is to watch the video. It’s a short 1?12? video (I just wish the presenter didn’t have a cold!)
