How do I navigate, look a direction in VR?

Mouse click/hold then move a direction inside the viewable VR/picture to change your viewing angle or look around. The farther you move your mouse/trackpad from the click point, the faster (and choppier) the scene will play. Unclick to stop payback. Try not to get dizzy.

For links, look for the arrow/pointer to turn into a globe/pointer icon to move to the linked scene. Release your mouse clickA single click will link to destination point. Use the Shortcuts link (if available) or 'Show Hot Spots' menu cheat (if you must).

 

Why does the scene play choppy?

If you are experiencing a choppy playback, it is typically due to the media content essentially maximizing your computer's resources, mainly the cpu and RAM. Navigating with a slower movement is the best way to keep a smooth pan, or viewing in a lower resolution. Also try quitting any other unnecessary running programs to free up RAM.

While there are no minimal computer requirements, the faster the system the better. Also as much RAM as you can get; ; 1GB is recommened, 2GB preferred. All our scenes are rendered in a processor intensive 'High Quality' setting which allows a clear, seamless playback. HD scenes have resolution starting at 2500x2 pixels x 6. Expect your processor to be drained.

Our base test machine is Intel Core Duo (1.8) MacBook running OS X and WinXP, both of which can handle playback of HD scene with slow panning; MD scene provided best overall playback and practical resolution for general viewing.
