Development for PowerPoint

PerspectorT is a new add-in for PowerPoint that gives it real 3D capabilities. It operates seamlessly with PowerPoint and is easy to use:

. 3D shapes and text (not just extended 2D) can easily be drawn and rotated in all directions

. Perspector provides shapes new to PowerPoint: 3D arrows, cubes, spheres, wedges, triangular and square pyramids, balls, disks and slices

. business and technical concepts that would be easier to understand if shown in three dimensions, such as related hierarchies, are easily created using Perspector 'layouts'. Spectacularly, these let users capture slides from earlier in a presentation and connect them together on a new slide



. with one-click, a slide containing 2D shapes can be converted into a 3D scene containing real 3D shapes

. Perspector-enhanced presentations can be compressed with a single click


"With Perspector, presenters can create simple yet stunning slides that get across complex ideas with ease." says Adrian Doyle, CEO of Visual Exemplars. "Perspector appeals to people who want to avoid turning off their audiences with bullet points."

Examples of presentations and diagrams produced using Perspector can be seen on Perspector website: http//:www.perspector.com

A fully-functional trial copy (complete with a User Guide Presentation that acts as a brief tutorial) can be downloaded now from the Perspector website. After 14 days, the trial version of Perspector will continue to work, but its images will be overlaid with a watermark. Buying a license key from the Perspector web site removes the watermark.
