Web4lib Digest, Vol 15, Issue 25

Hi Jon
 
They were created by Mike Spikin, a member of the Library's
Publicity Team, so I'll see if he do a write up for the
list.  He originally did a 2D overhead map, but I think a 3D
one works much better.
 
I've also hijacked the maps for the OPAC (e.g. http
://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/365051/cls/ <
http://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/365051/cls/> ),
although the Flash versions were a bit too much for our very
low spec dedicated catalog PCs so I had to go for an
animated GIF version instead.
 
I remember someone here talking about creating a virtual
model of the campus, that could be used for virtual tours,
demonstrating wheelchair accessible routes from one location
to another, etc -- I'll check to see if that's got beyond
the "vapourware" stage!

Hi Dave,

Can you share with the list how you made the flash tour? 
This looks
great.

Hi

Not sure if this is what you're after (as it's not really
a tour as
such), but we've got:

   http
://www.hud.ac.uk/cls-bin/cls.pl?c=98/100/222
<
http://www.hud.ac.uk/cls-bin/cls.pl?c=98/100/222>

Personally I think the maps should be larger on the screen,
so you might
also want to look at them directly as SWF files:

    http:
//www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor2D.swf
<h
ttp://www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor2D.swf>
    http:
//www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor3D.swf
<h
ttp://www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor3D.swf>
    http:
//www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor4D.swf
<h
ttp://www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor4D.swf>
    http:
//www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor5D.swf
<h
ttp://www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor5D.swf>
    http:
//www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor6D.swf
<h
ttp://www.hud.ac.uk/cls/flash/maps/floor6D.swf>

We're also pondering doing a podcast audio tour of the
library -- if
anyone has already done this, I'd love to hear what you've
done!

Anyone know of any good virtual library tours? I'm looking
mostly at
academic libraries, but public ones would be helpful as
well.

Thanks!
