Taking a Virtual Tour

Apple's QuickTimeVR technology allows you to explore a series of linked panoramic images. Unlike a video or a still photograph, you can move these images around, changing your perspective by clicking and dragging directly on them. In this tour, you may also travel between three different view points by either clicking on the place within the image you'd like to go (left, right or center of the art installation), or by using the diagram to the left of the panoramas. You can also click on each of the busts to learn more about each of the honored women.

Finding the links

As you're panning over the image, your cursor will change shape when it passes over a link within the panorama. You will also see a caption appear at the bottom of the screen that describes the link. If you feel like you're missing something, you can click on the button with the "?" below the panorama to see where the links are.

In this tour, there are three panorama views of the artwork, and from these you may click on any of the portraits, the wallpaper, or the donor plaque (to the right of the artwork) to view close ups of those items and read the corresponding text.

Movement

To move quickly about the panoramas, click directly on the center of the view. While still keeping the mouse button depressed, move the cursor in the direction you'd like to look. The further from center you drag your mouse, the faster the panorama will move. For slower movement, click closer to the edge of the screen and move the mouse less.
