Virtual Exhibit's

As part of the distribution of the project several Virtual Exhibit's were constructed. Virtual Exhibit's allow the user to download a short interactive movie that the user can interact with by rotating an object or navigating through the scene by placing the cursor over the image and holding down the left mouse button. *Some of these VR's are large and may take a few minutes to download on lower connections.

To view the VR, have installed Quicktime 4.0 or above
