QTVR Help

QTVR is Apple Quicktime Virtual reality, a way of presenting a set of views.
It is here used only to show 360° panoramas.
In these, you can turn around as follows:
- move the mouse into the picture, preferably somewhere near the middle.
- click and hold down the button, then drag a little to the left or right.
- the panorama will rotate, with a speed that is proportional to the distance you move the mouse away from the point where you started your click.
- if you want to go slower, move the mouse closer to the point where you started the drag, if faster move it further away. If you are inexperienced, start by dragging only a very small amount so that the picture rotates very slowly.
- if you want to stop, lift the button.
- once you have clicked in the picture, you can also move using the arrow keys. You can also zoom in or out: press the shift key to zoom in, the control key to zoom out. When you zoom in, you can still look "up" or "down" by moving the mouse in those directions.
Try it on this picture:
- note: some panoramas are not 360°, they will stop rotating when you hit the left or right edge. If such a panorama already opens positioned at its left or right, you then cannot move in that direction but only in the other one.
