Panorama Page

This panorama page is a way to show panorama pictures using an interactive java applet that allows a user to essentially look around. Page navigation is done in the lower left hand corner. All panoramas must be stored in the same directory for the divider page and page navigation to work. To have the pages fall within their proper place in the Bates Tour, the start page attribute for the Ancestor component must be set.

For more information on how to create panoramic photos for the web, see the How to take panoramic QTVR images using the Coolpix 990 page.
