More About Audio Visual Aids

Summary
According to research, most people are likely to remember more than 50% of the things they see. As a result, the usage of visual aid technology in presentations has been continuously increasing nowadays for better presenting results. Objectively speaking, visual aid can be a crucial part of a successful speech, by directly making the process of presentation more vivid and interesting. However, negative effects might also occur if this technology is used incorrectly.

  •   There are many types of visual aid mediums for everybody to choose from today, such as multimedia PPT slides, charts, video recordings or even simple handouts for audiences. All of these visual aid options have a clear advantage in common comparing to giving a speech by speaking only – more direct and easier to understand or remember. Anything that is visible will seem more vivid and intuitional than sound. This is always better for presenters to explain ideas or facts better during the speech. In addition, a well prepared visual aid such as a chart or short film can make the person presenting seem more prepared and professional.

  •   However, negative effects might also occur when using such technology in presentations. Since visual stuff seem more attractive than sound, the contents of the medias shown can distract the audience from paying attention to what the speaker is trying to convey, therefore making it harder for the presenter to grab the attention of audiences and express his or her ideas. Furthermore, the costs and required skills for the presentation itself will also increase dramatically if visual aid has been frequently used. 
    Personal Thoughts

  Visual aids might seem to be an irreplaceable option for presentations nowadays but there are still some straitened circumstances for the speaker to balance the attention of audiences. If you have any good ideas or comments, please know that you are more than welcome to share them with me.

Different kinds of Av options

SUMMARY
 Visual aid are an important part of presentations, which emphasize and clarify main points, and improving the look and appearance of presentations and  make them more interesting and eye catching .they helps to get the attention of audience and make the presentation  interesting for the listeners.but on the other side they also have some disadvantages .,like some of the options from them are expensive , so everyone cannot afford it , some are hard , other are difficult to handle. so as we all knows that "coin has two side  head and tale" similarly AV also have some pros and cons

 Props provide a realistic reinforcement of massage content. it increase the participation  of listeners. that actually keep the  listeners on the track and they are active or concentrate like what is going on  in the presentation.however it leads the extra work. it required lots of efforts . It is also an expensive option of AV . Because it need to transporting and replacing worn objects. it is also a limited use with larger audiences
 Transparencies is also a kind of AV option . it gives professional  appearance with little practice . it is an easy task to prepare , maintain and update. it locate reliable equipment and limit information shown at one time. but on the other side it appear to some as an outdated  presentation method. hold speaker captive to the machine. it mostly provide poor and worse reproduction of photos and some graphics.So this provide the lower quality output , which put bad impression on the presentation.

I think that above summary says correctly that same as coin has two sides so as AV has two sides.
I believe that above provided different options of AV are quite helpful while delivering the presentation and try these options in your presentations and this will bring very good results
