Description:

With mPOWER, you blend the capabilities of presentation software and multimedia authoring tools with an easy-to-use interface, allowing you to complement classroom presentations with imagery, audio, video, and charts without having to wade through manuals, menus, or timelines.

mPOWER uses an intuitive pushbutton interface similar to a bank ATM so you won't get lost in a maze of hidden menus, sub-menus, or dialog boxes. Users can easily add analog audio through the simple controller device, QuickTime movies, and graphics from 40 different file formats. mPOWER also features a smoothing option that gives text a great finished look.

mPOWER includes access to hot buttons and hypertext links, allowing users to create dynamic presentations, link to other frames within the presentation, or launch another application or video. Combine the royalty-free sounds and backgrounds provided with what is accessible to you on CD-ROM, PhotoCD, or audio CD, and bring your presentations to life.
