Homewood-Flossmoor High School
Take a virtual tour of our campus by viewing our QTVR movies!
QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) allows the viewer to navigate through a scene by clicking and dragging a mouse. The viewer controls the speed and direction of the navigation by using the mouse.
Some of our movies give you a 360 degree view, so that you can actually spin around the space!
Others give you a 180 degree view of an area. (Download the free
QuickTime Player if you
don't already have it.)
In order to view these movies, you need to have the QTVR viewing
software. The software is available for Macs and PCs.
Once you have the software, you can experience these images as if you were there!
