Comment on Impress.js - a Prezi like implementation using CSS3 3D transformations

Comments

Is there a high-level markup language that I can use to output to this? E.g. LaTeX style document structure but for this kind of presentation output?

There's a tool that does 3D presentations called Tao Presentations, just around the corner. See http://www.taodyne.com. It also does "real" 3D (i.e. stereoscopy or auto-stereoscopy on Philips or Alioscopy screens).

The description of slides looks close to what you are calling for:

slide "test",

    * "First point"

    * "Second point"
It doesn't output to Impress.js yet, but that sounds like an interesting opportunity.

I bet it would be fairly easy to plug this into org-mode. It already supports exporting to web-based presentation tools (I forget exactly which ones) so it's not without precedent. The tricky bit would be encoding the positions and transitions and effects, but that shouldn't be impossible.

The developer should explain the concept behind the document/view. Is there a fixed document and then a view path/graph? I would be interested to know what the conceptual model is.
