1. MindXpres: Conceptual and Technical Foundations for Next Generation Presentation Solutions
2019 by Reinout Roels
In "MindXpres: Conceptual and Technical Foundations for Next Generation Presentation Solutions," the author addresses the limitations and evolving user needs of conventional presentation software, exemplified by tools like PowerPoint, which originally aimed to emulate physical slides. Drawing from extensive research, including a literature review, observations, surveys, and the analysis of thousands of PowerPoint documents, this dissertation highlights the persistent gap between user requirements and the stagnant state of existing software over the past three decades. The author advocates a reevaluation of the presentation concept and offers a new conceptual framework, content model, information system, and presentation engine within the MindXpres platform, designed to facilitate interoperable and integrated solutions that overcome identified shortcomings. This innovative platform empowers researchers and developers to create presentation solutions that were previously unattainable with traditional tools, offering flexibility and adaptability for a wide range of proof-of-concept plug-in solutions to address emerging user needs.

2012 by Neal Ford, Matthew McCullough, Nathaniel Schutta
"Presentation Patterns: Techniques for Crafting Better Presentations" is the pioneering guide to structuring and organizing the foundational elements, referred to as patterns, necessary for effective communication through presentation tools like Keynote and PowerPoint.

In addition, the book highlights antipatterns, encompassing practices to avoid when creating presentations, as many modern presentation tools inadvertently promote ineffective techniques. Each pattern is introduced with a memorable name, a clear definition, and a brief rationale, along with insights into its application, potential outcomes, and the method for implementation. The authors also identify critical antipatterns, including clichés, fallacies, and design errors that lead to disappointing presentations, offering guidance on how to steer clear of these pitfalls once you understand how to recognize them.
