Scroll-Driven Presentations
Scroll-driven presentations advance diagram narratives as the viewer scrolls, creating a cinematic architecture storytelling experience.
Architecture Storytelling Through Scroll
Scroll-driven presentations are a distinct presentation mode where the narrative advances as the viewer scrolls down the page. Each scroll position maps to a step in the diagram, creating a smooth, cinematic experience without clicking through slides. The diagram transforms progressively, revealing complexity in layers rather than all at once.
Building a Scroll Presentation
Start from an existing architecture diagram or build from a blank canvas. Add steps that control element visibility and viewport position. Each step defines which elements are visible, which are highlighted, and where the camera should be positioned. The scroll presentation format embeds in content pages as a content block, so the narrative sits alongside your written documentation.
How It Differs from Click-Driven Presentations
Click-driven (standard) presentations require explicit navigation through buttons or keyboard shortcuts. Scroll-driven presentations flow with the page content, advancing naturally as the reader scrolls. The two modes serve different audiences and contexts.
| Aspect | Scroll-Driven | Click-Driven |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation Method | Scrolling the page advances the presentation automatically | Clicking next/previous buttons or using keyboard arrows |
| Best For | Documentation pages, onboarding content, self-paced learning | Live demos, team meetings, workshops, stakeholder presentations |
| Embedding | Embeds inline in content pages as a content block | Opens as a full-screen presentation or embedded slide viewer |
| Audience Control | Viewer controls pace entirely through scroll speed | Presenter controls pace, audience follows along |
