Interaction Help (see below
for Navigation Help):
Drag thumbnails
from the lower right picture window into the 3D world.
- Some of them will map to
buildings; others will appear in front of you.
- Deconstruct those in front
of you by clicking and dragging on them.
- If dragging in the images
doesn't work, please try refreshing the window contents.
- You can actually drag
in any image directly off the Internet (NOTE: use Internet Explorer):
- Go to http://images.google.com and enter a search term of your choice.
- Click on the desired image in the google list. A small icon
of that image will appear at the top of the page.
- Drag this icon into the 3D world. If the image takes a long time to
appear, its server is slow or perhaps the image doesn't exist there
anymore.
- You can also drag from any Internet link that refers directly
to an image, for instance from a listing of links to images in an online
directory. I'll let you figure out what that means ... This doesn't
seem to work with Mozilla or Netscape browsers, unfortunately.
