What are Interactive Presentations?
Interactive Presentations actively involve your audience in the delivery, unlike your typical presentation where they passively listen.
In contrast to traditional slides which are static and linear, viewers can engage through clickable elements and quizzes. Moreover, they can interact with Interactive Experiences like virtual tours, calculators, and more. Interactivity may seem complex but Dot.vu makes it easy that anyone can do it, no tech skills required!
