Presentation Transcript

  1. Quick 3D Presenter An Easy-to-use tool to make presentations in 3D

  2. Presentations… • Presentations are the order of the day • More than thousands are given per day • Way of attracting audience towards your views and arguments • One of the most helping factors behind success of every meeting • Used in modern day learning, corporate training sessions, business and marketing meetings, and sales gatherings

  3. Softwares for creating presentations • Microsoft Powerpoint • Macromedia Flash • Open Office Impress • Apple Keynote • Photodex • Flair • Articulate Presenter • AdobeCaptivate • Prezi

  4. Software description • Powerpoint: 2D presenter tool (commonest of all) • Flash : Requires a high degree of proficiency to get it to work for you. • Open Office Impress : similar to ppt • Apple Keynote : similar to ppt , runs on Mac • Photodex: cool presenter tool meant for photographers - 2D with great special effects. • Flair : 2D presenter • Articulate Presenter : 2D presenter • AdobeCaptivate: eLearning content creation • Prezi: cool 2D presenter tool . I would call it a tool that’s the fastest to get started with (demo later in the presentation)

  5. Limitations • They are all 2D. • Limitations that come along with 2D • Lesser control over content that is displayed • Restricted by the use of images and videos to represent multimedia content • In certain cases these images/videos do not really represent what the presenter wishes to convey • Inability to use 3D content despite of having the ability to create it or have access to it • TTL (Time To Learn) certain softwares is high • Example - Flash

  6. 3D presenter tools (Related Work) Dryfork • http://dryfork.com/ Liquid Media • http://www.liquidmedia.net/ • Problems with these presentation tools • Proprietary softwares • complex interface design • needs to have a separate player to play the presentations • Both are heavy softwares that do not enable easy creation of presentations, hence making the time to learn high

  9. Motivation • Limitations of the 2D presenter tools • Problems that were identified with the 3D presentation tools • complex interface design • Proprietary • needs to have a separate player • heavy softwares • Access to a wide range of 3D biological models and the inability to make proper use of them • OpenSGToolbox • And Iron Man 2!

  10. Q3DP - Architecture • The presentation is made up of scenes • Each scene can have any number of slides • Each scene helps in explaining one particular concept • The slides of each scene are subparts used to present that concept • Why this hierarchy ? • Helps in organizing the presentation into ideas/concepts

  11. Q3DP - Architecture

  12. Q3DP- Design • 2 Levels • Scene Manager • Scene Creator • Scene Manager : • Manages the overall presentation • Has a time line for holding different scenes of the presentation • Can load new scenes • A transition effect is applied to move between the scenes

  13. Scene Manager

  14. Scene Creator • Helps in creating a single scene • Add/delete slides • Create slides the normal way • Load 3D models into a slide • Add manipulability to models in a slide

  15. Scene Creator

  16. Features • Information Window • Hierarchical view of Scenes and Slides • Add animation to objects and within scenes • Dynamically create Paint Plane • Audio/narration at specific points in the scene • Capability to load in animations • Capability to pause path-controlled animations and navigate within the scene • Support basic functionalities present in other 2D presenters

  17. Applications • In the field of design • Structural designs, automobile design, aircraft design • Explanation about the structure of molecules • Virtual Training • Planning • In medicine • Example - to give a presentation on the different parts of the brain • Presentation about any object that requires a 3D view to explain itself better

  18. Sample Usage

  19. Future Work • Implementation of the required libraries • Development of the tool • Usability testing • a comparative study between dryfork, Liquid Media and Q3DP • Details about each of these phases have been omitted

  20. Conclusion • Q3DP thus would be a software that • Is Open source • Is light-weight • Is Easy-to-use • Provides greater control over the various parts of a presentation • Enables quick creation of 3D presentations
