As someone who teaches and presents technical topics often, I found myself limited by the static nature of traditional Beamer slides. I wanted a more dynamic experience—something that could combine beautifully typeset slides with video playback, drawing, and annotation tools. That's why I created Beamer+.
What Is Beamer+?
Beamer+ is a lightweight web-based presentation app built with Python and Flask that enhances your Beamer PDFs with the following features:
Embedded Media Support
Seamlessly insert videos, 3D models, and audio directly into your slides.
Live Polling
Run real-time polls with automatic AI summaries of audience responses.
Annotation Tools
Draw, highlight, and mark up content during your presentation.
Easy Navigation
Navigate slides using keyboard shortcuts, touch inputs, or a mouse.
Custom Widgets
Add custom interactive widgets to enchance presentations even further.
With Beamer+, you can turn a static PDF into a more engaging and interactive lecture or demo—perfect for classrooms, conferences, or online content creation.
