Interactive Talks
This framework allows for the creation of interactive slide decks to be shown using a modern web browser. By interactive, I mean fully interactive. Harnessing the power of d3.js, it’s possible to draw figures directly from data, animate them, and and make them respond in interesting ways to mouse interaction.
I used this framework for many of the science talks I gave during the latter half of my graduate school days, including several international conference talks and my formal thesis defense.
Like to get your hands dirty writing code? This framework is for you. Everything is pure HTML and javascript, with only a simple structure to power everything. With that simplicity come incredible flexibility and power. Anything you can do on the web can be embedded directly into your talk.
The framework was inspired by Mike Bostock’s early highlight reel talks showing off the power of d3. I’ve considerably tweaked the framework to work with my presentation style and added some additional navigation functions.
You can view some demo slide shows here. The code is available at GitHub.
