About UNL 360
Thanks for visiting. If your connection speed is anything less than broadband, the wait for all this media-rich content will probably be too long. Many files are in the 2MB range. You'll also need the QuickTime plug-in, Internet Explorer 6 or greater, Firefox or Safari as a browser. Download and install Internet Explorer or Firefox. (If you're using Mac OS X, you already have Safari.) UNL 360 was built in combination with new 3D print maps that have been distributed around campus. The tour is partially built with Worldkit, a flexible GIS mapping application for the web. An online list of buildings and locations is provided for your convenience.
Below are explanations of the different sections within UNL 360.
Navigation And Search
To search for a building on either City or East Campus, just type in the name of the building and click "enter" on your keyboard.
The map selection area allows the user to navigate between City and East Campus, as well as flyover views of each. Selecting "Sculpture" will zoom in on City Campus and allow the user a view of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery Sculpture Garden.
The building/sculpture list displays an alphabetical listing of buildings/sculptures that have more information available.
Map Window and Legend
This navigation is located within the map window and controls how you move around. Clicking the magnifying glass icon allows you to zoom in on a particular area of the map, while activating the grabber icon allows you to drag the map in any direction. The "+" button zooms the map in and the "-" button zooms out. The arrow icons will move the map in the direction of the icon clicked.

The left portion of the legend highlights the different elements that are viewable in the map window. Clicking on the check box by each icon will make those particular points viewable or hidden, while pink highlighting denotes guest parking areas and yellow highlighting denotes greek houses.
The right portion of the map legend allows the user to either download printable versions (PDF) of the campus maps (both City and East) or go to a page at admissions where a personal visit of the campus can be scheduled.
Panorama Window
When you put your mouse over the Panorama frame, your cursor will change to a small circle. Click once and drag to rotate the view. As you drag, the cursor will change into arrows pointing in the direction you're moving through the scene. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to rotate the view. When you move the cursor over a clickable area, it will change into the 'finger/globe.'
These red pins mark clickable nodes as you pan the panorama. Use them to jump to the panorama they mark. When the next panorama loads, you can keep track of your direction by looking for the compass points along its bottom edge.
Use the '+' button to zoom in. . . Use the '-' button to zoom out . . Use the '?' to reveal any clickable 'hotspots' in the panorama. . . Use the 'triangle' to find out about your Quicktime plug-in and its settings.
