From the dawn of civilization, people have used folktales and stories to share information and knowledge. After the invention of printing in the 15th century, technology provided helpful yet complicated utilities to exchange ideas. In the present computerized world, the art of storytelling is becoming more influential through the unprecedented multimedia capabilities of computers. In this article, we introduce a state-of-the-art presentation software by which academicians can present nonlinear topics efficiently and sharpen their storytelling skills. We show how the proposed software can improve the scientific presentation style. We conducted a survey to measure the attractiveness of proposed utility among other alternatives. Results show that academicians prefer the proposed platform to others.
