Prezi was founded in 2009 by Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy, and Peter Arvai and is developed by Prezi Inc.
Evaluation: Prezi is a valuable tool for producing interactive and visual presentations. Its zooming user interface differentiates it from other similar tools. The free version allows storing a few presentations and can be accessed on any device, yet not downloaded. A downside of Prezi’s free version is that presentations can be found and accessed by any user. Average IT skills required.
