Perspector
What is Perspector?
Perspector™ is an add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint. It has 3D and animation capabilities that enable the creation of exciting and compelling images way beyond those that can be made with PowerPoint on its own. If you know the PowerPoint user interface then you will find Perspector easy to use.
Why you need Perspector?
Perspector lets you bring more creativity to your presentations and lift them above the ordinary. Audiences are weary of being bombarded with bullet points and many presenters are now rethinking their approach. They are rediscovering that an appropriate image 'is worth a thousand words'. However, PowerPoint is a two-dimensional medium and, until Perspector came along, it was difficult to illustrate complex relationships between ideas in a simple way. The use of 3D and animated images is powerful because they come closer to connecting the viewer with the real world.
