Using Sozi for Presentations
Sozi is a tool for presentations made using zooms and rotations, not just slides. Uses Javascript added to the .svg file to display in web-browsers. Sozi is an extension that runs in inkscape.
Inkscape
An
Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to
Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape
supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending,
etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface.
It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace
bitmaps and much more. Sozi is an extension that runs in inkscape.

Sozi
allows presenting images and text for an all-sides on a page
presentation. You build and zoom to arears of the page you want to
show or talk about whiles allowing you to view your all "slides"
on a page. Because it runs in a graphics vector application you have
great freedom in resizing pictures without resolution detoriating and
edit every part of your work in detail. You can add amazing designs!
For example it is excellent for presenting images i.e. skeletal structure; you zoom for individual shapes. Inkscape (Sozi) is free, complete, multi-faceted and runs on multiple OS. Just download and install inkscape
and then Sozi.
How to Sozi
- Put all slides on a page in inkscape
- Draw a rectangular shape over the areas you wish to show
- Select the shape, open and click on sozi from the extensions
- Give it a name (eg slide 1)
- Repeat for all slides
- Save as .SVG
- Open file with any browser

Sozi seems to be provide an alternative to the conventional slide presentation most people are accustomed to.
ReplyDeleteAs a consultant what would you say are the significant differences between Sozi and Prezi. Of the two, which one better enhances ones ability to deliver powerful, captivating, and memorable presentation.
Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software, its as great as Sozi but requires internet access. You may also have to pay over $150 per annum for the "Pro". Free Prezi has a limited space and presentation is public. Sozi is free, unlimited, runs in a vector graphics application (inkscape) meaning that you are on a creative platform.
ReplyDeleteSozi looks gives your presentation some kind of animation feature which is quite interesting. Now one can do a more elaborate presentation with Sozi than just using the print screen function.Great work Prince for drawing our attention to Sozi.
