A corporate presentation used to very simple, a person would stand in front of one or several people and present. They would use only one tool, their voice, with the only variables being how loud or soft they spoke. Realizing that presentation aids were necessary, presentation boards were born. These boards would feature certain pictures and words used to help the presenter get the desired message across. That was certainly not enough, as technology grew so did presentations. Along came chalk boards, microphones, projector screens, white boards, erasable markers, laser pointers, videos…ect…All of these were tools used to enlighten presentations.
For a long time Microsoft Power Point was considered the end all be all of corporate presentations. Everyone has the program and everyone is using it, over and over and over again. It is clear that technology is vastly leaping to new levels, and presentations must and will follow. Only the innovative and forward looking corporations will follow, and they will reap the benefits.
Here are some examples of presentation tools already developed in the current market. Believe or not you would be hard pressed to find any of these tools used in a corporate presentation today.
Lattice 3D
A privately-held company founded in 1997, Lattice3D is headquartered in San Francisco and Tokyo, and has distributors worldwide.
An innovator in 3D Publishing and Communication, LATTICE3D provides proven solutions for leveraging 2D & 3D engineering data throughout the enterprise. Thier 3D Publishing platform and underlying XVL technology enables companies to create interactive 3D documents for use in technical illustrations and electronic training manuals (IETM), sales presentations and assembly instructions. The company's award-winning solutions increase organizations' efficiency, lower costs, and improve product quality.
250,000 users in more than 2000 companies. This number should be greater.

Power Plugs
Power plugs is just a simple way to energize your presentation. This is also rarely used in the “old school” power point presentations we see everyday. This is as easy as changing font and background, two options that executives spend way too much time fiddling with.
Power plugs work in front page, outlook, excel, power point.
Cost = about $60.00 for each transition. $100.00 for charts.
Holocinema
Started by: Professor Victor Komar Ph.D.
Head of the Holography Laboratory at NIKFI*. He served as Director and Depute Director of NIKFI from 1950 to 1981, where he developed numerous projects in cinematography, including inventing the first integrated system of holographic cinema technology.
Company Statement
“We have developed the
world's first holographic equipment with the capability of projecting genuine
3-dimensional holographic films as well as holographic slides and real objects –
for the multiple viewers simultaneously. Our Holographic Technology was
primarily designed for cinema. However it has many uses in advertising and show
business as well.
At the same time we have developed a new 3d digital image processing and
projecting technology. It can be used for creation the modern 3d digital movie
theaters and for the computer modeling of 3d virtual realities as well. On the
same principle we have already tested a new system of 3d color TV.
In all cases audience can see colorful 3-d images comfortably without any
special glasses or other inconvenient accessories.”
This is what the offer as far as 3D business presentations
Effective
business presentations are crucial tools in today's competitive global
environment. But forget PowerPoint... What we offer is a totally new way of
introducing your business and presenting your products and services.
You will have a unique, leading-edge business tool to turn your business demo
into a 3d virtual reality event! It will have a powerful effect on your most
important clients, partners, investors and company stockholders and exceed all
your expectations!
Be the first to own and operate a 3D Presentation Center! Depending on your
needs and preferences, the size of a 3d presentation center ranges from 6
viewing seats to a few hundred seats and can include a 3d movie show capability.
(The required investment for starting manufacturing these devices is about $2
million).
Holigrams
How they work according to Physorg.com
A hologram pattern, which to the naked eye looks like a collection of random dots, is displayed on a small liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) microdisplay - a tiny, very fast liquid crystal display built on top of a chip. The hologram patterns are calculated by Light Blue Optics' proprietary "hologram chip" so that when the microdisplay is illuminated by laser light, the light interferes with itself in a complex manner through the physical process of diffraction which, when carefully controlled, results in the formation of a large, high quality projected image on, for example, a screen or a wall. Unlike a conventional video projector, heavy, bulky lenses are not required: diffraction does all the work for you, and the projected image is sharp and in focus at any distance.
What will this lead to?
There are a huge number of applications for this technology in fields including
business,
home entertainment, automotive,
aerospace and advertising. At present, the focus is on 2D applications, in
particular tiny personal projectors for business and home use. The illustration
shows an artist's impression of a potential early product - a personal video
projector, which you could download movies to and then play anywhere, using a
wall as the screen. In the future, the same technology could be extended into 3D
applications - while this is some way away yet, the technology could bring the
holographic video displays of science fiction one step closer to reality.
When will products be in the shops?
At present, Light Blue Optics has a lab-based demonstrator, which converts a
standard composite video signal into high-quality 2D holographic video, in real
time. The hologram generation engine runs in a commercially available FPGA
(field-programmable gate array) chip, whose design extends naturally to cheap
mass production. Other processing platforms including low-power digital signal
processing (DSP) ICs are also under development.
We have basic 3 D technology useful in a presentation platform. The future is in 3D holographic presentations. The technology is in progress and expected to be fully ready within 3-6 years. There are companies that are very close, they already have some form of holographic products but the final hologram is not complete. Some companies have the recipes, money and technology, some don’t.
