Virtual tours of CZECH REPUBLIC

Visitors and travellers

How to navigate through this site?

In our interactive map, the individual objects and localities are represented by active markers which provide links to the individual virtual presentations. If a specific category is selected the map marker set will be updated accordingly. The alternative drop-down menu navigation on top of the page offers user a direct selection of locality, object, and scene from the respective lists.

The actual panoramic scenes can be controlled by either mouse or keyboard and it is very facile and intuitive. The viewer is allowed to pan around to any direction or zoom in and out. The reality-feel is very persuasive.

What do I need to see virtual tours?

3Dtour.cz site can be viewed in essentially any current web browser (MSIE, Firefox, Opera etc.) with JavaScript support (a standard part of vast majority of browsers nowadays) needed mainly for interactive map functionality. All the virtual panoramic scenes are available in both Java and QuickTime VR (QTVR) format hence your browser should support either of the two technologies. If needed both Java run-time module and QuickTime player can be downloaded for free and installed on your computer (see the links at top right of this page).

Which format is the best for me?

The choice of the actual viewing technology (Java or QuickTime) entirely depends on your personal preferences and capabilities of your computer - there is no considerable quality difference that would positively favor one over the other. As regards quality and viewport size there are three options available:

• LQ (low quality) - reduced image quality and viewport size optimized for low-bandwidth (i.e. dial-up) internet connections and/or older computers with low performance.
• HQ (high quality) - high image quality and larger viewport size suitable for those who desire more realistic experience.
• FS (fullscreen) - extremely high quality image projected onto the maximal available screen area. It is so realistic that the viewer will be literarly immersed into the actual scene.
