Step 3: Present the Scene
Fledermaus Viewer is only able to present slides (see figure 4) that are part of the scene loaded. Each slide would be something that the sharing party would want to highlight or point out to the user.
- Start Presentation - Starts from first slide and use mouse or space bar to go through slides.
- Start Timed Presentation - Starts from first slide and goes through slides based on the times set.
- Start Timed Presentation Loop - When you need the presentation to loop
