How to use the PPT Clock

• Using animation and slide transition timing, it
  is possible to have PPT behave like an RTOS
• The notation,
• (t1,t2
• indicates that there are between t1 and t2
  minutes remaining in the presentation time.
• In the windows version, a red dot moves from the
  right to left of the screen, to indicate the
  relative time remaining.
• Since the display is somewhat unintuitive, it can
  be useful to demonstrate the clock to an audience
• The interface is meant to distract in the last
  few minutes of speaking time, to grab attention
  please have the laptop be in full view of the
  speaker, but not the audience.
• To add new slides, please change timings on
  surrounding slides, both on slide transition, and
  ball timing
• Enjoy your new on time schedule!!
