e122 – The Future of Presentation Design? VAS; Visual Attention Software

  • 3M (yes the big corporate 3M) is the inspiration for our conversation this episode. 3M recently released “VAS”, Visual Attention Software, for designers to leverage as another tool in their digital toolbox. Of note, VAS is not designed for presentation layouts, but it is a big focus within the visual design industry, and presentation design can use this software to make better slides! Join Troy, Nolan and Sandy as they talk about their recent experience testing the VAS software as they are joined by Sean Springer from 3M to gather more information, insights and ideas on how this software may help with presentation design.
