Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

The site uses validated CSS2 for lay-out and to maintain a graphical profile on the site. The site will have the optimal design with a CSS enabled browser. Again: all newer browsers supports CSS.

Watching video and QTVR panorama photos

Several videoclips, audio samples and VR panorama photos are available on this site (look for the icons above). Video and sound is in low quality/resolution to perform quicker on the web. But you still have to be prepared for a little waiting when loading video/sound - specially if you are using a slow internet connection. The multimedia features requires that a software plug-in for QuickTime is installed on your computer.

QuickTime™

QuickTime™ is a common technology used for displaying digital video and sound on computers. QuickTime is required to use the video, sound and Virtual Reality samples available on this site. It is free to download the software from Apple.

If you have a QuickTime plugin, but the video still doesn't work properly, you will have to update to a new version of QuickTime. Check your QuickTime installation here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/qtcheck The page will also direct you on installing the QuickTime software. If you have more problems/questions concerning QuickTime, please refer to Apple's QuickTime Support.
