The affordances of virtual world (MUVE) presentations
- World-wide audience potential
- Easily bring your own posters, slides, videos, or 3D scenes.
- Easily make a video of your presentation, post it on YouTube.
- Posters and the objects in your scenes can give notes and links to web sites.
- All your presentation material (and the video) can be available indefinitely.
- Your presentation material can be reused and kept in your portfolio.

Suggestions for 21 century presentations
For the host venue
- Invite presenters to rez a presentation set carrying whatever support they need.
- Suggest they can prepare and test a slide presenter in the set.
- (Then they can get it right on their own time.)
- A podium is so last century.
- Event presenters could maintain a collaborative blog
- All the event details could be posted there for advanced promotion.
For presenters
- Make your presentation set for reuse.
- Put in web-senders to things in your portfolio.
- For lectures and presentations, use web-senders in virtual worlds
- If you want to use slides, put a slide presenter in your presentation set.
- Steamworks Slideshow Viewer 1.0 (Exportable)
- Newbie orientation
- Presenter for Opensim v. 1.1 (en)
- Get rez power at the venue, rez the presentation set.
- If the slide show controls respond to a click from anyone,
- put a transparent panel between the presenter and the audience.
- (The controls can be scripted to respond only to the owner.)
- Around the sides of the set, put notecard givers, web-senders, etc.
- If you can post on a blog, you can put all your presentation content there.
- Then you use web-senders to send people to those pages.
- (People can look at those while you are talking. And read them later.)
