Mixed-Initiative Interfaces for Slide-Ware Authoring and Presentation

Ryan P. Spicer, Aisling Kelliher, Andreea Danielescu

Abstract: We present current work on the NextSlidePlease slide-ware presentation tool and discuss how mixed-initiative principles may support the complex tasks of combining multiple linear presentations into a network of related content. We discuss future directions in two areas: supporting the layout of complex sets of interconnected slides, and refining the time requirements and content importance in these networks.
