The interactive model can be cumbersome to navigate on a mobile device. If you are having trouble, we suggest using a laptop or desktop computer with a mouse. We have also provided a non-interactive Tour through Seneca Village.

Load the model by clicking the “play” button in the center of the screen. Once the model has loaded you can access a full screen version by clicking the double-sided arrow in the bottom-right or with your “f” key.

Take the Tour

When the model has loaded, you can take the tour by clicking through the model’s annotations.

  • The simplest way to do this is by clicking the arrows at the bottom of the screen.
  • Alternatively, you can click a specific annotation’s number to access its position and view.

To explore the model, the default (“orbit”) mode uses your mouse or trackpad. You can pan, zoom, or orbit around the model. For an overview of the controls, click the Help (“?”) icon at the bottom-right of the screen.

If the default settings feel clumsy, you may prefer the “first person” mode. Access first person mode by clicking through Settings > Navigation > First Person at the bottom-right of the screen. In this mode, you can…

  • use your mouse to rotate your view (like looking around)
  • use your arrow keys to move the camera (like walking)

TIP! Change your walking speed by scrolling with your mouse or trackpad. We suggest the lowest walking speed (1) to avoid jumping through and around the model.

More

By default, the model loads in standard definition (SD). You can access a high definition (HD) version by clicking through Settings > Textures > HD at the bottom right of the screen.

Virtual reality (VR) options are also available via the VR icon on the bottom-right of the screen.
