QuickTime Plug-In Software

You need the QuickTime ActiveX plug-in to use the QuickTime VR component of this web site. Download the software from the Apple web site: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/.

Using the QuickTime VR Controller

 

The Controller in the lower-left corner of the QuickTime movie window includes buttons to Zoom Out (-), Zoom In (+), Show Hotspots (?), and Pan (4 arrow-symbol). Clicking on the Hotspots in some images toggles between a larger, composite image and several component images. To Pan across an image, click the Pan (4 arrow symbol) button on the Controller, then click and drag the mouse across the image; only images that have already been zoomed-in can be panned.

QTVR Controller

 

Keyboard Controls: To Zoom Out, hover the mouse over the image and press the Shift key. To Zoom In, hover the mouse over the image and press the Control key. To Pan, press the Alt or Option key and one of the four arrow keys on the keyboard (using the mouse and Pan button on the Controller works much faster than using the keyboard).
