So heres what I figured out: You can pair an Apple wireless Magic keyboard to the iPad, then use the arrow buttons on the keyboard to advance the Powerpoint as you walk around the room.

But there was no way to control the presentation remotely (from iPhone or other remote), unless I converted the Powerpoint to Keynote, which I was not willing to do because the conversion was messy and made unwanted changessubstitutions. I taught a six-week class this past winter and wanted to host Powerpoint presentations from my iPad mini, which was tethered to the projection setup with a Lightning-to-HDMI cable. Surely Im not the first to encounter this, and hopefully someone has already worked out a solution. With the vast majority of presentations still operating from laptops with projectors and VGA cables, extending this remote control to a PC would make this Apple Watch app even more useful.
