@bartaz and ChallengePost invite designers and developers to reinvent the presentation using impress.js. impress.js is an open source presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions in modern browsers and inspired by the idea behind prezi.com. Check out the official demo and more examples on the wiki page!
Create a browser-based presentation using impress.js that conveys content in a compelling way (≤20 slides). Choose a topic you’re already thinking about, or find a presentation or speech online and reinvent it with impress.js (check out TED, slideshare, history.com speeches, or any other resource you like).
Use existing impress.js features and add or extend features to create a browser-based presentation. Examples of potential new features include:
- new ways of navigating the presentation;
- sub-steps (showing hidden content without changing the slide);
- adding or moving steps during the presentation;
- new configuration options;
- new events; or
- anything else you can think of!
