WHY PERSPECTIVE
Bring your stories to life
Go beyond slideware, bring your data to life and breathe fresh life into your presentations.
Ideas in Motion
Stop boring your audience with bullet points. Engage them. Use touch gestures to reveal data, zoom in to focus, or highlight key data points.
Create a Conversation
Show, Don't tell. Presenting with Perspective is more like having a conversation enhanced by data as opposed to a "pitch".
No Data Left Behind
Bring all your data: slides, spreadsheets, images, PDFs, cloud data, video.
The idea is great and I had/have high hopes. But it’s confusing and difficult to use. It also seemed to glitch out and wouldn’t allow for re-login after I upgraded to Pro. Turns out I had to re-download and they charged me twice, for which I am actively pursuing a refund. I’m a fan of Dediu, I went to the Airshow and I believe in the concept of Perspective. But it’s been a rough experience so far unfortunately.

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 waysIt'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. #my2cents
