QuickTime VR Movie Controller
In general, the mouse is used to navigate QuickTime VR movies.  However, the movie controller offers more options.  The QuickTime VR movie controller is shown below.
   • It controls some aspects of a QuickTime VR movie.

 

   • The first icon (far left) goes back to the last-visited scene in a multiple-scene QuickTime VR movie.
   • The next icon ‘zooms out’ of the movie, so that more of the movie is visible.
   • The next icon ‘zooms into’ the movie, so that details can be seen more clearly.
   • The next icon shows all visible ‘hot spots’.  These are locations in a QuickTime VR movie which, when clicked, perform some action.
   • The next icon allows you to drag objects if they are ‘zoomed in’ and therefore do not show the entire movie.
   • The long empty bar in the centre is the help box and shows brief descriptions of the controller buttons when the mouse moves over them.
   • The last icon (far right) is the size box
      · the size box resizes the movie window.
