panorama instructions

In order to view the panoramic tours, you must have Apple Quicktime Version 3 or higher installed on your machine.

For Windows, once the image loads, move your cursor over the image, it should turn into a circle. To move around the image, press and hold the left button on your mouse, the circle will turn into an arrow and you can move the image up, down, left and right.

You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard. This function works only if your cursor is on the image.

Use the SHIFT and CTRL buttons on your keyboard to zoom in and out. SHIFT will zoom in, CTRL zooms out. Again, this will work when your cursor is on the image.

For Mac, the click button on your mouse will move the image. All other instructions are the same as Windows.
