Storytelling. Help me turn my mindmap into a visual tour, walking through branches and leaves in an order you suggest (defaults are hard!), seniority (oldest nodes first), or user sequenced. 

Would be great if we had “view” options or scene design templates for each moment in the presentation.

  • An “establishment shot” with a panorama of the whole map.
  • “Flying in” to the home node.
  • A Game of Thrones opening that tours the kingdoms (the first generation child nodes).
  • A tour of sibling nodes or all the children of a particular parent. 
  • A node profile card with it’s parentage, kids, notes, and provenance/metadata (by Brian on May 2nd) 
  • Closing recaps (walking briskly back through the previous tour)
  • A “credits” card showing the contributors. 

Your Frames model doesn’t work for this. There are too many nodes and moments, so frames interfere with thinking about the whole and ideation. 

Save multiple tours of the same board. 

P.S. Spend an hour on best-of-Prezi demos for a sense of the power of stepping through a visual landscape.

Absolutely. While in presentation mode, it’s completely information overload to show the entire Mind Map. I want to be able to zoom in on a node and see all it’s parents, siblings, and children and that’s it. I then want to be able to tour to the next node, and the next. As an educator, I want to be able to go from one topic of triangles and see all the siblings: periodic functions, circles, modular arithmetic, etc. Then, I want to move to the next node and see its connections. At any point, I want to view rich content that expands on that node topic, and then return to the node view and continue my tour of the nodes. I rarely will show the entire node tree in a presentation.
