Apologies to those who do not live in the UK, If you were to be presenting a prototype of your software in front of a panel of people (Dragon's Den-esque) -- with a view to potentially obtaining funding to 'improve' it, bearing in mind you have utter faith in the GUI's etc. associated with that app, which of the following options would you opt for:-
1. Demo the software (small risk of it failing)
2. Demo a 'video / animation' of your software in action - if so what software might you use to capture the operation of your software (mmm - maybe I should just video it in action...?)
3. Opt for a combination of paper handouts detailing what they can glance at a video of the software - the more I think about it a video of the software in action is more reliable in the fact that you can present it without any 'presentation guffs...., providing the justification in that it is a prototype of the software'
4. opt for a brief intro, followed by a video of the software in action, wrap up with a conclusion - offering the opportunity to use my 'prototype' software on a laptop.
For the uninitiated, Dragons Den is a program that accepts invitations from entrepeneurs from all 'inventors' - not just software folk. I am incline to opt for a brief intro, followed by a video of the software in action, wrap up with a conclusion - offering the opportunity to use my 'prototype' software on a laptop. Incidentally, it is written in BMax.
I'm in front of the panel this Friday... I'll let you know how it goes....
