Firstly, we hope that you enjoy the contents of our presentation. It was shot in and around London mainly on Wed the 12th November 1997. The cameras used were the Apple Quicktake 200 and the Fuji DS7.
Here are some points to be aware of when running this app.
Firstly, If your monitor is already set to display thousands of colours or better, the VR content will run more smoothly if you leave your monitor set that way (ignore the warning dialog about 256 colours if it appears).
040/Powerbook issues.
This project will run very slowly on certain non-PPC models. Unfortunately, this was discovered very late when testing on a powerbook Duo 280c. A workaround is to fade the sound out before trying to access the VR content otherwise the presentation will run extremely slowly. Copying the presentation to your hard drive will also help in this situation. This should not be an issue for most other machines.
Lastly enjoy...

PS. for anyone interested....
We've no idea what the small roundish object on the fourth page is. It's in the sky to the left of Parliament and apparently over the Thames. It appears in just one of the source picts but not in either of the others before or after despite considerable overlap in the field of view and the gap of only a few seconds between the shots. We weren't aware of it at the time and it's probably just a plane or a very fast moving dirigible, but we're open to suggestions......
