QUICKTIME INFORMATION & HELP Tours created in QuickTime Virtual Reality will need Apple's QuickTime Player. For information on how to download QuickTime for MacOS or Windows click the QTVR Info button at the bottom of this page. NOTE: QuickTime is a FREE download from Apple. Generally speaking, if you have an Apple machine purchased new within the last five or so years you will be able to play the Tours. The same should apply to a PC with Windows 95+ although there may be difficulties if you have upgraded your version of Internet Explorer to a most recent version which will not have the QuickTime plug-in (see below). System requirements are as follows: MAC OS 68030, 68040 or PowerPC processor QuickTime extension version 2.5 or later Quicktime VR extension 2.01 or later MoviePlayer version 2.05 or SimpleText WINDOWS 486 or Pentium processor QuickTime for Windows QuickTime VR components version 2.1 or later MoviePlayer version 3.0 or later. In both cases, you will also need QuickTime plug-in version 2.0 installed with your Web browser. (eg Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). OPERATING THE PLAYER Once you have clicked on a button the Tour will start to download. Sometimes the image needs a kick-start by clicking the player screen. The fully downloaded Tour will look like this: The buttons on the base bar allow you to zoom in and out and the button marked "?" will highlight 'Hot Spots'. You click on Hot Spots to move from room to room and from inside to outside (or vise versa). To ROTATE the image use your mouse - place the cursor in the player screen, click/hold and drag left or right and up or down. The more rapid the mouse movement the faster the image will spin. As well as highlighting Hot Spots as noted above, the cursor arrow will also indicate these by changing from black to white as it passes over one, showing you the way through to the next room or exterior view. When this change happens, click on the Hot Spot and you will taken to the new view. Once the Tour has fully downloaded, click the arrow button on the right of the player to reveal the drop down menu where you can select to save the Tour as a QuickTime movie and play it at your leisure.
