HRI Beamer Theme

A nice looking Beamer theme, based on HSRM Beamer theme by Benjamin.Weiss@kreatiefton.de, with a few improvements like full-screen pictures and videos. Download the pre-compiled demo presentation.

Title page TikZ figure

This Beamer theme requires lualatex for compilation (available in the TeXlive distribution for example).

It also looks nicer if the Flama font is installed in your system. Download it from here:

Special commands in this theme

Full-screen pictures

Full page picture, with optional caption

\imageframe[caption]{mypic.jpg}
  • caption: optional caption (can be any Latex code) that will be displayed as an overlay on top of the picture

Videos

\video[aspect ratio]{width}{myvideo.webm}

This integrates a video in your presentation. Clicking on it opens the default system video player for the given video format (using pdfpc, you can also play the video directly inside your presentation, cf below).

  • aspect ratio is a real value equal to height/width, defaults to 16:9 (ie, 0.56)
  • width is any valid Beamer length (like 0.7\textwidth for instance)

A preview picture (typically, the first frame of the video) is used if a file called myvideo_thumb.jpg is found. Assuming avconv is available on your system, make thumbs will generate such a preview picture for you.

Note that, if played with pdfpc, the video will be nicely overlaid on top of the slide, exactly covering the video preview. pdfpc also support special extended URI for the video file, allowing to define options like start and stop times (in seconds from the beginning), looping, auto-start and mute (no audio). For instance:

\video[aspect ratio]{width}{myvideo.webm?start=20&stop=34&autostart&noaudio&loop}

make thumbs will also use the start time, if specified, to generate a thumbnail of the video at the correct time.

You can also produce a full-screen video frame with:

\videoframe[aspect ratio]{myvideo.webm}

aspect ratio has the same default as for \video (ie, 16:9).

Bibliography references

You can insert references to specific paper in the footer of a slide that way:

{
  \paper{Superman, How Kripton changed my life, Springer 2014}
  \begin{frame}
  ...
  \end{frame}
}
