The rgl
R package allows to plot interactive 3D figures and to save these figures in a html document (with the writeWebGL()
function).

If you put this in to an HTML document, you can probably use the IWebBrowser2
object to open the HTML inside a Slide. I am not sure how a 3d graphic would render, and I'mnot familiar with R or would not be able to offer any further advice, but you might start by trying to simply create a WebBrowser object inside your slide, and then tell it to Navigate to the HTML file.
Sub InsertHTMLFrame()
Dim sld as Slide
Dim shp as Shape
Dim wb as Object
Set sld = ActivePresentation.Slides(1) '## Modify as needed
'## Create the shape container, you will need to modify the L/T/W/H to fit your document
Set shp = sld.Shapes.AddOLEObject(100, 200, 200, 150, _
"Shell.Explorer.2")
shp.Name = "3dgraphic"
Set wb = shp.OLEFormat.Object
wb.Navigate "C:\Users\you\Desktop\exported3dgraphic.html"
End Sub
Controlling this flow during SlideShow mode may be a little trickier, but it's doable, provided the graphic renders properly through IE like this.

wb.Navigate "C:\..."
modify this to the correct file path for your HTML file. This can be on your computer or in a shared network folder, etc.The browser should be able to display HTML pages when in SlideShow mode, but will not render them in the normal or preview mode.
