Booth presentations are short interactive multimedia productions of the kind
used in museums and galleries that inform about a particular topic using a
limited number of actions that open different categories of information. They
are commonly presented as information posts using a computer monitor and
include print text, graphics and sound.
PowerPoint toolbar features such as ‘Insert’ and ‘Slide show’ provide means of
importing graphic and sound files into PowerPoint and creating category links
and options using ‘action buttons’. PowerPoint can be applied to provide the
small programs that enable users to select information from different
categories as in booth presentations. For assistance in using these features,
search ‘action buttons’ and ‘insert’ in the PowerPoint Help index.
