It's been over 25 years since I looked into this stuff, so I'm pretty rusty on it. I don't recall the double-slit experiment having anything to do with consciousness. I remember that it was proof of the quantum theoretical view of the world as opposed to the classical view. It demonstrated wave-particle duality, and that interference and probabilities were correctly computed based on wave function amplitudes (one of the postulates of quantum theory). I don't remember wave function collapse being important to the experiment.
