Abstract

Mixed Reality (MR) can potentially transform workplace presentations and enhance knowledge sharing in office environments. Traditional slide-based presentation tools often constrain presentations to linear, screen-bound structures, which limit spatial exploration, audience engagement, and personalization. In contrast, MR supports three-dimensional content, augmenting real environments, and personalized views.
We envision a future where MR presentations become a central medium for our workplaces.
To systematically explore this potential, we conducted an expert workshop with MR and presentation specialists, including lecturers. Through thematic analysis, we identified key design aspects for creating MR presentations, including spatial content distribution, audience interaction, and maintaining narrative cohesion. Additionally, we demonstrate their use through an exemplified scenario of designing an MR presentation, illustrated by an implemented prototype.
With the discussion of challenges and opportunities, we hope to lay the foundations for integrating MR into office presentations, reimagining how stories and ideas can be shared in professional settings.
