Immersa: Open-source Web-based 3D Presentation Tool

• 11 Comments
• You can do this kind of thing in Apple Keynote. It's one of those powerful features that you find in Apple software but for some reason they keep hidden.

  You can use "Magic move" to do the kind of stuff that Immersa is doing.

• Thats quite an impressive amount of functionality for not much code. Tokei says 4.4k sloc in the ui dir which contains the editor implementation. I was over 25k sloc for a less ambitious editor in typescript recently.
  I'm also a bit jealous of how clean the reframe usage model is, i really liked the dominoes explanation when i first learned about it. https://day8.github.io/re-frame-wip/dominoes-60k/

• interesting -- but i am not sure one would want to build an entire presentation with a lot of 3D effects and animations
  IMO this would be a good tool to have among many -- to use judiciously only when needed. -- Maybe if we could somehow integrate this capability into existing tools (not sure how).
  (I think MS Powerpoint has some 3D objects and animations -- but I dont see it used much in business. I used it once for a fancy presentation and it worked fine. It does support "Morph" transition so you can copy a slide 1it ha 3D object and move / scale / rotate it in 3D ... and powerpoint will interpolate it for you. you can also animate the objects - like apply a 3D rotation.)

• Right. I think if it’s a presentation about the object then there could be plenty of applications for this. I will definitely be trying it.
