Virtual Reality
Galaxies in VRML - If you're a Star Trek fan, you'll love this. Fly through hundreds of nearby galaxies and explore strange new worlds. Just don't boldly go too fast, or you'll get not-so-virtually airsick!
Geo-Images Project - Click on any of the Virtual Reality Panoramas, and prepare to be amazed as you travel from Death Valley, California, to Moraine Lake in the Canadian Rockies. Through the magic of QuickTime VR, you'll feel as if you are really there!
Greatest Places Virtual Reality - All you'll need is QuickTime to explore 360-degree photos from Iguazu Falls in Brazil. Hope you're not afraid of heights. Hold onto the handrail! (For the squeamish, try the solid ground views of Greenland.)
Interactive Origami in VRML - This little demo allows you to start with a sheet of paper, walk around it, get close to it, and then run farther away. If you click directly on the paper, it will advance to the next stage of paper folding. It's not the greatest exhibition of origami we've ever seen, but it does provide nice practice for your VR driving skills.
IPIX - The World Leader in Internet Photography - You will need to download the IPIX plug-in for this one to work. But after you have it, you'll be able to walk around sports stadiums, real estate, famous landmarks, even sharks. Just check the gallery area and start your exploration. One place not mentioned here is the IPIX interactive tour to Westminster Abbey, which was created by CNN for the sad occasion of Princess Diana's funeral. Visit it. Be sure to look up over your head and beneath your feet to see memorials to famous authors.
