Introduction

Interactive 3D Learning Objects can provide an extremely valuable upgrade to both new and pre-existing PowerPoint presentations.

After completing this step-by-step guide, you will be able to successfully enhance the look and feel of your presentations by the addition of the i3D Learning Objects.

Step 1: Identification

The first step will be to identify whether or not you already have the EON Viewer installed on your PC. (without it you will not be able to embed or view EON Objects).

If you do not have EON Viewer installed, you can download it by following this link (click here). (http://www.eonreality.com/support/eon-downloads.html)

Next, select the button below that corresponds to the version of Microsoft PowerPoint you are currently running:

Helpful Tips

• Insert a maximum of only ONE EON Object per slide.

• To create a placeholder, take a screen capture during your simulation (Alt + Prnt Scrn) and underlay it in your presentation.

• While running your simulation within PowerPoint, use the (Ctrl + F) keys to toggle to and from full screen mode.

• If you are sending your presentation to an outside source, ensure they have the EON Viewer, or know where to download it.

• If the presentation is being sent to an outside source, the files running within the presentation must also be present on the machine running the presentation.
