Moving Around

Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to walk forwards (UP) and backwards (DOWN). Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to turn. You can also use the WASD keys as an alternative to the arrow keys. Use your mouse to look around. If this is your first time navigating in 3D, then we recommend just using the keyboard to begin with. If you are comfortable with using a mouse then we recommend simply using your mouse to turn and the UP arrow key to walk around the gallery. You can change your walking speed and the sensitivity of your mouse via the menu. Press M to open the menu and select “Control Settings”.
