... towards "Knowledge Navigator"
I set aside some serious time to play with this app and am really impress with what founder Farshad Nayeri and his team at Pixxa have created.
I'm still waiting for flying cars and meals-that-come-in-pill-form but Perspective comes pretty close ;)
— a fantastic iPad only tool to create (author) and present (deliver) clear and concise highly visual stories and 'experiences' using data (big data or any data)
— a full platform play (consisting of a versatile application + a back-end distribution infrastructure) to deliver those stories in a variety of powerful ways
— core technology that enables authors / educators / presenters and their intended audiences (either live-in-the room or delivered after-the-fact to iPads anywhere) to physically interact with visual elements of a Perspective presentation (by touching the iPad) in hugely engaging and interactive ways
It's not for everyone. You need to be chill with the obvious constraints of "iPad only" authoring but you can use a variety of other tools and platforms to create any assets you like that will end up in a Perspective presentation / "experience".
Call me crazy but I think what Pixxa has done in creating Perspective goes more than a couple of giant steps forward towards what Apple's original "Knowledge Navigator" dealio envisioned oh so many years ago.
My guess is that early adopters and innovators in the graphic & visual arts, educational/ontological designers and corportate communications & training types will embrace this puppy in pretty short order.
Perspective goes way beyond what Keynote and PowerPoint can (and should) do for telling highly interactive, engaging and easily distributable stories based on complex data. I also think it's likely to become the defacto iPad standard app / platform for creating and telling these kinds of stories. #my2centsShow lessJPWP
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this app! It works and it is the only one I found that I was able to find out how to use easily! Once you download it, you first get sort of confused, but after about 5 min u get the hand of it. I use it for my class presentations and its awesome!!!!!!!!lingonizor
Great Looking App / Small Detail Missing
The app looks beautiful and definitely fills in a large gap that is missing in the mobile presentation space. I am seeing the same thing as Baily_Loves_Monster_Trucks (great name btw), there is no create a story button :(
Once that is fixed I am excited to try its additional features. Keep up the great work.Show lesschadkdesign
Useful content, good delivery
I find the selection of presentations useful for technology strategy. The delivery on an iPhone 4S is good, with relatively low impact on battery even when watching a 30 minute session. I'd like to see a progress indicator relative to the whole presentation though, not just for each individual slide.Show lessMarek Pawlowski
How does it work?!
I watched the presentation that tells you what to do and it showed me how to make a presentation......but I looked and I it didn't show the little add sign!! What do I have to do?!?!?!Bailey_Loves_Monster_Trucks
Confusing pricing and content ownership
As far as I could tell, after paying $20 for the authoring kit, you're limited to a certain number of presentations you can create. You have to be connected to the Internet for creation and presentation. Also, read their terms and conditions carefully about who actually owns the presentations you create. From my reading, they do... not you. 5 stars for nice presentations, subtract 4 stars for business model.Show lessGene Gerwin
Great Product - Looking forward to some specific improvements
My only suggestion for improvement is the ability to move to different part of a audio-visual presentation without loosing linkage and to be able to stop and return where I left off versus restating.GeorgeP
I have gotten "check you internet connection" for about five days
This is on the Featured Stories page. So new stories cannot be downloaded.Mike129432
Giving useless errors
Can't download from the web link, can't get the "featured" section to load. Nothing but "check your Internet connection" errors and my connection is fine. What's the deal?wherethestreetshavenoname
The future of education
This app takes advantage of everything I hoped my iPad could be. Nicely done.jbellusdlaw
