Viewing QuickTime Virtual Reality (VR) Movies

QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movies display three-dimensional places (panoramas) and objects with which the user can interact. With a QTVR panorama, it's as if you're standing in the scene and you can look around you 360 degrees. In a QTVR movie of an object, you can rotate the object in any direction.

To pan through a QTVR movie, drag the pointer through the scene. To zoom in on the movie, click the + or - button. (If the buttons are not showing, zoom in by pressing Shift and zoom out by pressing Control.)

Some VR movies have hot spots that take you from one scene (or node) to another. As you move the mouse over a hot spot, the cursor changes to an arrow. To jump from one node in a scene to another, click the Show Hot Spot button (question mark). A translucent blue outline of any hot spots within the currently visible VR scene appears. If there are no hot spots, clicking this button has no effect.

To step backward scene by scene, click the Back button. (The Back button appears only on a QTVR movie window, not all QuickTime movies.)

In order to watch our virtual tours you need QuickTime installed on your computer.

If required, download it for free.
