Stakes of the survey
Observations : People are spending approximately half an hour copy-
pasting wikipedia articles in powerpoint slides, and
another half hour formating it in a beautiful way.
Speaking of short presentations on easy subjects like presenting a
famous person
Goal : Create an intuitive web application which allows you to
create a simple presentation in less than 5 minutes !
5. Presentation of the user pannel
37 people answered the survey, most of them are studying or
doing an intership, and they often give presentations

Time spent on slide making Information sources used
7. Information source
We observe that people usually trust wikipedia when they are dealing
with simple searches on common subjects (specified in the question)
How much do you trust wikipedia ?
1 = Misinformating
5 = Totaly trustworthy
8. Formating a presentation
People seems to be enjoying formating presentations. So maybe the app
should let the user a certain degree of liberty in formating the content
How difficult/pleasant do you
find formating a presentation ?
1 = Quick/Pleasant
5 = Long/Unpleasant
9. Softwares used
As expected, Powerpoint is the most used. However we can notice a
certain appeal for online app like Prezi or Google presentation.
10. Conclusion
Identified needs : We confirmed that time spent on little presentations
is currently too high and can be reduced. The people
willing to use our app would mostly be students
or interns, most likely because they have many
presentation to give in which they have not much value
added.
How to do it : People have an appeal for web apps thanks to the
confort they provide but they mostly use desktop
applications. Therefore, the app interface must not be
too different from a desktop app to keep the norms
users are used to. This can be translated trough icon
design, or features available. Moreover, people seem to
be confident towards wikipedia, thus information can be
extracted from there and others websites.
