Interactive Slides in Keynote

How do you create interactive slides in Keynote. Say you are presenting to a small audience and they have the presentation on their Apple device, goal is to get them to answer a multiple choice question right from their device. Their answers to the question immediately populate a bar chart in the Keynote presentation. Is this possible? If so how? Thank you

iPad 2, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

You can do interactivity in Keynote. You can make it show buttons on the display and do something different depending on which button the user touched. But it has no mathematical abilities. It can't store numbers and add 1 to a number in storage. It can't remember the result so another user can use it later.


You can get a bit closer to what you want using Numbers instead of Keynote, but I think it won't look as clean and professional as you would like.


The sort of thing you want is usually handled by writing a web-facing application and putting it on a web server somewhere. Then anyone with a working web browser (whether iPad or computer) can access it.
