-= AvaCon Presenter HUD Instructions =-

The conference Presenter HUD (Heads Up Display) system is very simple to use.  The system has two main components – the Main Screen that the audience will see, and the HUD your avatar wears, where you can control what is displayed on the screen.

In order to successfully use your Presenter HUD, three conditions must be satisfied:

1.  You must have the OSCC Presenter group as your ACTIVE group
2.  You must be AUTHORIZED to control the screen 
3.  Your slides must be FULL PERMISSIONS

--------------------------------------------
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------

------------=  MAKE THE OSCC PRESENTER GROUP YOUR ACTIVE GROUP =------------

Edit > Groups > Select  the "OSCC Presenters" group > Click the "Activate" button on the right.

------------=  PREPARE YOUR SLIDES =------------

The presentation system can display slides and static images in JPG or PNG format.  If you designed your slides in PowerPoint, you can use File > Save As.. to save your images as JPG or PNG files.  Be sure to select “Save All Slides” when prompted and it is very important that you rename the resulting slide images with a filename that includes your presentation name and at least a TWO DIGIT slide number to ensure your slides display in the proper order.  For example:

slide1.jpg
slide2.jpg
slide3.jpg

Should be renamed to something like:

oscc14_myavatarname_01.jpg
oscc14_myavatarname_02.jpg
oscc14_myavatarname_03.jpg

If your slide deck has more than 99 slides, use a three digit numbering system.

------------=  MAKE SLIDES FULL PERMISSIONS =------------

Your slides must be FULL PERMISSIONS in order to be displayed on the presentation screen.

Once you have logged into the conference grid, the first thing you need to do is set your viewer to automatically give all uploaded images full permissions so that the images can be displayed for the audience.  In the Singularity Viewer, go to Edit > Preferences > System tab > Building Tab and check the boxes for Next Owner Permissions to Copy, Modify, and Transfer, and then click Ok.

If you have uploaded your slides without changing your system preferences, you can manually edit the permissions of your slides.  Highlight all of your slide images in your Inventory > Textures folder and then Right Click > Properties to open the window to manage permissions.  In the pop up window, check the boxes for Next Owner Can:  Copy, Modify, Transfer, and then click the small x to close the permissions for that slide, and then repeat the process for all of the rest of your slides.

------------=  WEAR THE HUD =------------

 Locate the AvaCon Presenter HUD in your inventory, and RIGHT CLICK > WEAR the HUD.
 
------------= ADD YOUR SLIDES TO THE HUD =------------
  
The next step is to load your prepared slide images into the HUD.  First, open the HUD’s contents by right clicking on the HUD > Edit.
In the Edit window that appears, choose the CONTENTS tab.  This is where you will drag your slides.   Next, locate your slide images in the Textures folder of your Inventory and shift-click to highlight all the slide images at once, then drag the slide images into the Contents tab of the edit window.  Close the Edit window, and your Inventory, then click the HOME button on the Presenter HUD and you should see your first slide appear in the Preview window.

------------=  HUD CONTROLS =------------

HOME BUTTON - Returns to the first slide in you presentation

RESIZE BUTTON - Changes the screen size aspect ratio on the presentation screen

ADD / EDIT URL BUTTON -  Using the Back or Next button, scroll to the slide JUST BEFORE the slide where you want your URL to appear.  Then click the ADD/EDIT URL button on the HUD.  You will see a message in local chat asking for the URL you wish to add.  Type the URL into the local chat bar.

NEXT & BACK BUTTONS - Moves forwards and backwards through your slides.
