Panorama software is used to create virtual reality panoramas that show a wide angle or full 360° scene. The scene can then be viewed with most web browsers. Panorama image files are large, so broadband internet is recommended. After a panorama loads in your browser window it will rotate automatically. Click and drag, pinch, swipe, etc., to manipulate/move the image. The Shift key will zoom in, while Control or Command will zoom out. Clicking the expand button at the top right of the image will make it fill the browser window or reduce it back to normal.

Here's the scoop on browsers and formats:

The panoramas on this site will work in two ways: in browers that support HTML5; or in browsers that don't, using Flash if it's installed on the computer or device.
