Using te LivePicture/RealSpace Viewer
If you're visiting Web sites that contain .ivr and .wrl files, the Live Picture Viewer plug-in automatically displays the scene within your browser. Visit the gallery section of the Live Picture Web site at www.livepicture.com for a list of links to sites that use the RealSpace technology.

To navigate around a panorama in the plug-in or standalone Viewer: Click and hold down the mouse button while dragging the pointer around in the Viewer window to move around in the scene. Press Shift to zoom in and Ctrl to zoom out. Press the space bar to view "hot spots," areas in the scene that you click to cause an action onscreen, such as switching to another panorama.

IMPORTANT: On Macintosh, it's best to allocate as much memory as possible to your Web browser when using the Live Picture Viewer plug-in. To increase the memory of your browser, select its icon on your desktop, then choose File: Get Info. In the Preferred Size field, increase the memory requirement.


Updating the LivePicture viewer (was called the RealSpace Viewer):
Periodically, the LivePicture Viewer needs to be updated to be able to view and navigate the latest technological advancements in .wrl and .ivr files. The Live Picture Viewer automatically detects when it is out of date by comparing the information in your computer's registry with the latest registry information on the Live Picture server. If the Viewer detects that it is out of date, it automatically begins to download the latest version from the Live Picture site. The comparison occurs automatically when you're connected to the Internet and is unnoticeable. However, if your version is out of date, you're prompted to begin a download operation. (You can delay the download a day at a time if downloading is inconvenient at the moment you're prompted.)
