What's an "enhanced poster"?
Traditional posters are static and have limited space. In an "enhanced poster" you can build in animations, movies, interaction and effects. It can simply be a poster deconstructed into slides, or it could be a Prezi-style presentation or anything else that can translate to a shared video feed.Programme
