Office Labs (yes, that exists!) has come up with a Prezi emulator, what it calls "Plex technology". It's a plug-in to PowerPoint that lets you not only zoom in and out of slide sections but also vault between slides that are not sequential in the deck. This type of dynamic behavior makes establishing and maintaining context in the big picture much more natural. Done well, it reinforces understanding and improves retention.
It's easier to understand what this functionality adds and how to use it by watching it in action. Here is the pptPlex Overview video.
Not sure what happens when it leaves the Lab, but for now you can download pptPlex and use it for free.
