JAVA EXPERIMENTS

Spring Arbor University Virtual Tour (VERY obsolete - Campus looks very different now)
I constructed this interesting approach to virtual tours in 2002 using a product called "Reality Studio" by LivePicture Group (now defunct). This tour was in service from 2002 - 2004, ultimately being replaced by a much higher quality virtual tour.
NOTE: To use this virtual tour, click and drag inside the photo to view the panorama. Holding down the Space bar will cause clickable "hot spots" to appear which will lead you around campus.
