iPIX Help

Make the most of your iPIX Full 360-degree image experience by familiarizing yourself with this brief key.

Windows Users

If you are an XP user and can't see the tour, update Java.

The first thing a Windows user will notice when inside a Java Full 360-image is that the cursor becomes a four-arrow icon. To move inside the image, HOLD DOWN your left mouse button and drag the four-arrow icon in the direction you wish to move.

Hint: The four-arrow icon drives the image slowly if held near the center of the picture. The closer the four-arrow gets to the edge of the picture, the faster the image moves.

The two-arrow icon, which allows you to zoom in and zoom out, appears when the cursor is slightly above or slightly below the center of the image. To zoom closer into the image, HOLD DOWN your mouse button when the two-arrow icon is slightly above the center of the image. To zoom further out of the image, HOLD DOWN your mouse button when the two-arrow icon is slightly below the center of the image.

Macintosh Users

The first thing a Mac user will notice when inside a Java Full 360-degree image is that the cursor becomes a closed hand icon. To move inside the image, HOLD DOWN your left mouse button and drag the closed hand icon in the direction you wish to move.

Hint: The closed hand icon drives the image slowly if held near the center of the picture. The closer the closed hand gets to the edge of the picture, the faster the image moves.

The arrow icon, which allows you to zoom in and zoom out, appears when the cursor is slightly above or slightly below the center of the image. To zoom closer into the image, HOLD DOWN your mouse button when the arrow icon is slightly above the center of the image. To zoom further out of the image, HOLD DOWN your mouse button when the arrow icon is slightly below the center of the image.

Keyboard Navigation

If a mouse isn't hooked up to your machine or you just prefer keyboard navigation, it's still easy to navigate Java Full 360-degree images.

A crosshair icon will appear in the center of the image when using the arrow keys to move left, right, up, or down in images. To move quickly, HOLD DOWN the arrow key which points in the direction you wish to move.

HINT: To activate a link, such as a door or speaker, position the crosshair icon over the desired link, then press ENTER.

To zoom closer into the image, press the plus key.
To zoom further out of the image, press the minus key.

Hotspot Navigation

As you pan around the iPIX image you may notice a Hotspot Link presented as a red square. Click this link to navigate from image to image.
