Method for producing computerized multi-media presentation
First Claim
1. A method for producing a computerized multi-media presentation, comprising:
- defining one or more meta-slides, each of which is a construct for containing a plurality of media events along a time line;
selecting a plurality of media actors for inclusion within the meta-slide, wherein each media actor produces a media event along the time line when the media actor is bound to a specified action, and wherein at least one of the media actors is a whiteboard actor;
selecting a meta-action from a library containing a plurality of meta-actions, wherein each meta-action specifies the duration and relative timing of a plurality of actions performable by media actors, and wherein the selected meta-action includes a sequence of presentation slides which when are bound to the whiteboard actor produces a discrete slide sequence shown on the whiteboard during the multi-media presentation; and
, binding the selected meta-action to the selected media actors in the meta-slide to produce a plurality of media events which occur along the time line synchronized in accordance with the specifications of the meta-action.

Abstract
A method and system is described for the generation of meta-slides which can be used for 3D presentations and documentation. Meta-slides represent an organizing principle suitable for 3D virtual reality and multimedia (i.e. video, audio, text and images) content creation. Multiple avatars, actors, objects, text and slides are assembled in a meta-slide performing actions synchronously or asynchronously. The meta-slides and scenes are edited on a time line. The user can interact and dynamically update the content of the presentation during the content playback in the playback window. The playback window and meta-slides can become part of an internet browser or remain standalone.
