Is there something like a combination of PowerPoint and Prezi? Just one continous vertical slide where you just scroll down during a presentation.

Also, using a PDF (created in InDesign for example) is a great alternative to if you don't need videos or animations. Plus compatibility is way better.

You can have videos, animations, and fancy transitions in a PDF slide deck if you're willing to present with Adobe Reader, and the same file can provide graceful fallback for other readers and printing. And pretty much all PDF readers handle internal hyperlinks just fine, so you're never limited to just a static linear presentation.

Whether you should use those features is another question, but I've had a few occasions to do things like embed a 3d model in a presentation.

HTML?
