The Virtual Tour uses the IBM HotMedia Java applet, which downloads automatically so no installation is necessary. It supports panning and zooming with smooth motion.
To pan left and right and up and down, hold down your mouse button and drag. To activate smooth motion, hold down the Shift key (Command key for Macintosh users) when you drag. To zoom in and out, drag up and down while holding down your mouse button.
For information on using the custom Zoom View tool, see the demonstration.
To use the Zoom View tool in the Digital Collection or view panoramas in the Virtual Tour, you must have a browser that can use Java. Refer to your browser's help to learn how to enable Java. Visitors whose browsers are not using Java will not see the tool.
