What did Prezi founders learn from MTV videos, or the zooming bullet perspective of television series like CSI Miami? Why are Steve Jobs or Larry Lessig so successful presenters? A year ago today founders of Prezi, Peter and Adam, asked the audience these questions at a workshop in Budapest, which was a double celebration, and launch party in one.
One of our users, Björn Syse has created an awesome screen capture video about how to re-calibrate the Apple Remote for Prezi control. Since we receive many emails about this matter, we think this is the best way to come up with an answer. We are developing our own methods to remote control Prezi anyway, but this solution does it’s share till. The software he used is iRed Lite, a free program that remaps your Apple Remote allowing to remote control any application on your mac, even a Prezi presentation.
We have seen a workaround before about how to convert the Apple Remote to a mouse and control Prezi. If you want the details pinpointed with stills and some written explanation, check Doug Belshaw’s blogpost here. Björn’s solution is different: his method allows direct control. Congratulations Björn, your video is ablsolutely amazing. Thanks!
