Kurt Dupont is a solution provider who would go out of his way just to ensure he brings out the best when it comes to issues that have to deal with data-driven presentations, data visualization, and digital signage software.
He started by working at airports worldwide to set up airport databases and flight information screens. This evolved to become the basis for PresentationPoint.
In this conversation, Kurt talks about BreakPoint, a new, free add-in for PowerPoint that lets you add countdowns, live clocks, weather information, and more in your slides.

For many people who now have to join online meetings, the worries created are rather more than the usual jitters you might get before giving a business presentation.
However, the biggest obstacle has been: “How to connect with an online audience?” With technological advancements, people have been concerned with how many gadgets have taken over all aspects of our social and personal lives. We no longer have to leave the comfort of our homes to date (use a dating app instead), to watch a film (subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime), to shop (Amazon and online grocery shopping), to the bank (banking apps) and to speak to our friends (WhatsApp and social media sites). Work was thus a place that forced people to interact, in person, on a day-to-day basis. But, because of the pandemic, many of us are working from home, and with that, people’s need for connection and touch has been amplified.

Real-time data displayed on your slide’s screen is informative to look at, and not too difficult to achieve. Microsoft PowerPoint is certainly the most widely used tool to create presentation slides. When combined with the DataPoint add-in from PresentationPoint, you can bring real-time data to your slides or slideshows.
You can easily connect a text box, chart, or table to your factory production figures or KPIs (key performance indicators), and have it updated at regular intervals–every 200 milliseconds, or every minute, depending on your needs. In our Nobody Knows How to Display Real-Time Dashboards in PowerPoint article, we showed you DataPoint’s great capability of showing dynamic dashboards, but here in this article, we will show how you can use text boxes and assign dynamic rules to their values.
