It WILL be a bitmap.  OO.org does not have the ability to render EPS files.

OO.org can export SVG but not import SVG (yet).

While it is an entirely different direction, I use the 'beamer' package 
for LaTeX to do my presentations, whereby I can generate EPS image files 
and include them that way.

You can then create a PDF file and use one of the PDF viewers in full 
screen mode to display it.

More information on beamer is here:
