I must say that you cant describe CHACE in any other form than CHandra's Altitudinal Composition Explorer.

I'd like to go to one, but I think the next one is at least 5 hours away.<br /><br />But I pre-bought the domain for my city... thinking about co-organizing one :-).<br /><br />Regarding the transition slides, it is true, you can make some really cool and useful effects with that one. Just be careful not to overuse it.<br /><br />OliverOliver (ReThink Presentations)http://www.rethinkpresentations.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-60718748428364897572010-02-13T15:50:56.679+05:302010-02-13T15:50:56.679+05:30Vivek,

I didn't mean images of objects or literal representations (yes, often technical presentations are about just imparting information i.e. in an educational programme). <br />But often, of course, technical presentations are more than just imparting educational information. They're about getting people to think about the technology in a wider context i.e. the overall business goals, development goals, who is going to be using the technology and (user experience), and so on. <br />Also, could be to get technical people to think creatively in order to work out a technical solution to a technical problem. And so on.Edmondhttp://www.forum.spotlightideas.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-39548900666983873562010-02-12T19:27:49.428+05:302010-02-12T19:27:49.428+05:30@Edmond

It demands some exploration.<br /><br />Images are useful in every presentation but I wonder how far can they explain a technical point. May be they can only be one more tool for the presenter to enhance the understanding levels of the audience. To at least see rather than just visualise.Vivek Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200482495588733983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-41079824478427259912010-02-12T19:18:56.865+05:302010-02-12T19:18:56.865+05:30Regarding the technical presentation, perhaps some...Regarding the technical presentation, perhaps some technical people should use images more. Images can often convey concepts much quicker and easier than verbal explanation. <br />Einstein often used images to communicate his ideas to others. <br />I suppose it depends on the topic, the goal of the presentation, and the topic being discussed. But my experience of working in IT in the past, is that some technical people could improve their presentations more by adding more tools / props (such as images). <br /><br />Lots of good points here.Edmondhttp://www.forum.spotlightideas.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-22550220259553198492010-02-10T14:59:37.110+05:302010-02-10T14:59:37.110+05:30@sriks7

Congrats to you for organising the event so well.<br /><br />@Anshul<br />I dont think we can generalise and comment that all scientists are not great presenters. Syed's presentation was exciting, his passion for his work was evident, he just needs to reduce his content and make it easy for the layman.Vivek Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200482495588733983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-26443321455000881942010-02-10T11:56:14.278+05:302010-02-10T11:56:14.278+05:30I was present in the event as one of the volunteer...I was present in the event as one of the volunteers... I totally agree with you on the points you mentioned.. Though Syed's topic was interesting but use of jargon made it a bit dull.. and it also showed the difference between presentations of scientists and engineers.. former is full of details, latter is more entertaining :)Anshul Dixithttp://www.knowledgehub.co.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291177271456561843.post-711487612770133492010-02-10T11:16:36.474+05:302010-02-10T11:16:36.474+05:30Vivek,
