Prepare your slides in latex convert them to good looking
pdf and leave the button clicking to some photon-enabled
mouse-waving human.

If you really want to click the buttons yourself,
then run emacspeak under X,
and spend some time hacking your favorite window manager to
send 
the next button click when you push the appropriate key.
