HOW to Create a "slide show" image from a computer folder

so basically I want to create a screen that has an old slide projector at it and when the player presses a key it goes to the next slide in the deck and if they push the back key it goes back to the previous image - need help creating the blueprint for that and how that would work - ALSO want the images easy to change so it would almost be linked to a image folder like a image sequence but it would be manually changed instead of playing automatically like a movie
