IPIX 360° Navigation

---

Navigating 360° IPIX® images is easy.

There are two types of 360° images:

• Plug-in Images: viewed with a internet browser plug-in or stand alone IPIX Viewer.
• Java Images: viewed in a Java Applet.

Click on either choice to see a quick navigation guide. There is also a section at the end that talks about Keyboard navigation that applies to both types of images.

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