Based on the feedback we receive from Prezi authors, we have added new, smoother camera movements between elements when playing or showing a prezi. Check the video above. The first half was created with the version now available for the public, while the second half was recorded using the yet experimental new camera movements feature. Do you want to test the new anti seasickness effect?

Here is what you should to do to try this out:

Add an experimental extension to any prezi URL like this: http://prezi.com/************/edit/experimental/eagle

Please note that your prezis created in experimental mode will loose beta enhancements once you play them without the experimental URL.

We can’t wait to have your feedback, and experiences about this.

We are proud to announce that Prezi won of the European Seal of e-Excellence Platinum Award 2010 today in Hannover, at the annual CeBit digital industry tradeshow. It’s a great honor to be selected for the highest rank of Europe’s prime award that promotes the marketing of digital innovation.

The European Seal of E-Excellence Award honors European ICT and digital media companies with an excellent track record in innovative marketing of digital products and services.
The annual award goes to companies foremost because of their marketing focus and because they, as a consequence, are natural job creators. This year 32 winners from 13 different countries were awarded. Hooray!

Many of you only know Prezi’s Community Manager, Zoli Radnai, through tweets, support emails, and his regular postings here on the Prezi blog. However, the invitation to participate in TEDx BKK 2010 brought this behind-the-scenes guy into the limelight. The event was held on February 13, 2010 at Ruamrudee International School’s Performance Art Center in Bangkok and included a range of speakers on this year’s theme of Minds Wide Open. Zoli represented us in Thailand with a prezi about…Prezi!

Upon his return, Zoli entertained the Prezi team with a fabulous trip report about his nights (and days) in Bangkok which included: seeing 3 prezis in action at the event, giving Prezi worshops in local schools, meeting a diverse bunch of very cool people, and being graciously hosted by @RobinThailand. Zoli plans to write another post about his experiences soon, so watch out!

TEDx conferences are independently organized TED events following the original philosophy of introducing interesting speakers and ideas worth spreading. Prezi is often used as an optional presentation tool at these conferences. Giorgio Ungania, organizer of TEDX Dubai have now decided to go even further. He wants to create the first TEDx where every speaker will have to utilize Prezi as a presentation tool. They will build their own TEDx Prezi style, and to boost the process, create a little academy where speakers will be trained on how to use Prezi.

On the top of that Giorgio plans to make every TEDxDubai prezi available for sharing & remixing, with our new Reuse feature, and on the TEDx Dubai website they will post the video recording of the talks together with the relevant Prezi. Becoming excited about all this, we asked Giorgio about hows and whys after the jump.
